Dedicated Temples of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (commonly called the "Mormon" church) are only open to members of the Church who have a special reccomendation from their local Church leaders.
Before the temple is dedicated, public tours are held for a few weeks. These public tours are open to all people and allow them to see all areas of the temple. The tours also include a question and answer period.
After a Temple is dedicated, the public is welcome to enjoy the peaceful grounds and gardens around the temple. Many temples also provide a visitor center to inform those interested about the purpose of the temple. If a family member or friend is getting married in a temple ceremony, you may be invited to sit in a waiting room or lobby while the ceremony is taking place.
Church meetinghouses or chapels, where Sunday Worship Services and congregational activities are held, are always open to the public regardless of their religious affiliation.

No, infact, Mormons are Christians themselves. Christians define themselves as followers of Christ-Mormons are followers of Christ-thus, they are Christians. Anything said about Christians of different denominations not being allowed to be with a Mormon is a myth.

Are there a large number of Mormons in St George Utah?
As a truck driver, I have passed St. George, Ut., the last city on Interstate 15 before crossing to Arizona, and Nevada towards Las Vegas. Since about 70%(?) of UTAHans are Mormons, we may presume that the majority of St. George Residents are Mormons. But there are several Churches of different Christians denominations sprouting in SG here and there. Mormon Temples are distinguishable by their architecture with the Angel Moroni on top of one of the spire. Another Answer: As a Mormon who has lived in Utah for 21 years and was married in the "Mormon" Temple in St. George, I can tell you that yes, there are a large number of Mormons in St. George. It was originally a Mormon Pioneer settlement. The oldest temple still used by the church is located in St. George, however, it does not have an Angel Moroni on the top. That tradition did not start until the Salt Lake Temple was built.It is true that there are several churches of different Christian denominations in Saint George, and there are plenty of people who live there that are not members of the Mormon Church.
What are some churches?
Some of the denominations of churches is Baptist, Penacostal, Mormon, Church of Christ and Jehovah witnesses

Where was the word Mormon derived from?
The word Mormon comes from the Book of Mormon, which members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and a few other denominations (such as the Community of Christ and the Apostolic United Brethren) use as scripture alongside the Bible. The Book of Mormon is a collection of ancient records put together by an ancient mesoamerican prophet named Mormon.
Why are the pyramid on top of the Mormon temples?
Most, but not all, temples and churches of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the "Mormon" church) have a steeple on top of or adjacent to the main building. This is not meant to resemble a pyramid in any way, it is in following a popular Christian tradition to have a steeple on religious buildings. The steeple is meant to draw the eye upward toward God and to identify that the building has a sacred purpose. No Mormon temple has a 'pyramid' on top, and the pyramid has no symbolic meaning in Mormonism. Many steeples on Mormon temples feature a gold statue of the angel Moroni, who is heralding the return of Jesus Christ. Mormon churches usually have plain steeples. Check out the "Related Links" below to see example images of steeples on various Mormon buildings.
