The new tour, called the Temple Square tour, begins every 10 minutes at the flagpole and replaces the historical tour.The new schedule began May 15, the same day that summer visitor hours were started, which are now from 8 a.m. to 10 p.m.
In the tour, the historical significance of the square is given, and visitors are taken into the Tabernacle for an acoustical demonstration. The tour also includes a stop at the Christus statue in the North Visitors Center.
Cancelled are tours known as the Prophets, Life of Christ, and Christ in America. Now visitors are welcomed to browse at their leisure through the galleries of the Old and New Testaments in the North Visitors Center, and view the murals there, said the director.
In the South Visitors Center, a presentation is offered on the Book of Mormon. The purpose of temples is explained in a presentation that includes a a film, "In His Holy House," and displays. Other presentations are given in the Assembly Hall, Tabernacle and North Visitors Center.
