The Arizona Temple Visitors' Center is an architectural attraction on 20 landscaped acres. The Temple features biblical paintings, a 10-foot Christ Statue, dioramas, flower gardens, reflection pools and guided tours. Besides the usual attractions, the visitors' center also features special presentations at Christmas and Easter. The Temple features 600,000 twinkling lights set in the picturesque desert landscape of citrus trees, cacti, and palm trees during Christmas. The lights display 50 life-size figures, including a Nativity scene, the three Wise Men and their camels, and others. At Easter, celebrate Christ's miraculous Resurrection by attending the free outdoor pageant, Jesus the Christ. The production reenacts events in the Savior's life through music, dance, and drama. The Visitors' Center is open daily from 9:00 a.m. until 9:00 p.m. daily.
