My family and I loved visiting the place where Joseph Smith, the first prophet of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, found the Book of Mormon. The tours are free. The tour guides are volunteers and they do an excellent job. This is a great place to have a spiritually uplifting experience!
The Hill Cumorah visitors center is a great place! You can learn about the history of Joseph Smith and the Book of Mormon there. If you have the opportunity to go, you should go!!
Go in October! My family had the whole hill to ourselves. Great opportunity to be in that sacred place! I don't think my experience would have been as good if it was crowded.
Hill Cumorah has their annual pageant. It s an amazing event and free to all. Lots of history too
Phenomenal! Amazing display of the stories in the Book of Mormon. The Food was great! And I actually enjoyed the Protestors, it only strengthened my Testimony of the truthfulness of the Gospel.
A beautiful place to learn about the true church of Jesus Christ and about the churches history. The hill comorah is great too!
Three ways to get to the top. Drive if you can't walk, walk a paved sloped trail or go straight up on a dirt trail to see what its really like in the woods around the site
A quiet area in New York. A nice place to relax and reflect on Christ.
Excellent pageant especially since it's performers are not professional only local people. Excellent production.
Wow! The hill where Moroni delivered the golden plates to Jospeh Smith. How awesome is that?! One of the COOLEST of all of the Church history sites.
The Hill Cumorah Pageant's last year is next year. Everyone go!! It's legendary. In the picture below, you have King Noah 2019 with King Noah 2017. Sadly for KN19, he suffers the same fate.
The monument wasn't really worth the walk or drive.
Loads of color on stage awesome effects,wonderful story. parking is well done easy in easy out great job to all those that make this happen
It was my first time visiting a Mormon event & I loved It, because I love God! God Is love In any & every religion! Amen
The place is spic and span, the staff are pleasant, but the place was about empty when I visited.
Neat place to visit and learn about early events in the beginning of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Enjoy guided tours in the visitor's center, hike to the memorial of Moroni at the top of the hill or, for the rest of the season, enjoy the Hill Cumorah Pageant before it closes. Definitely worth a visit! All the necessary accommodations for a physically pleasant experience are also available.
What a tremendous place and experience this visit was for us
Can learn about how the Book of Mormon was translated and about the early years of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints.
Have been there many times. WONDERFUL WAY TO LEARN ABOUT THE TRUE EVENTS THAT HAPPENED AT THIS SACRED SITE. Always greeted by such friendly people!
Sisters are friendly and go out of there to help answer questions.
Beautiful site to visit with our family. Everyone was very kind and gave a lot of great information.
Lovely place to visit, all are welcome, free parking, free admission.
Peaceful. Knowing what took place here brings a calm.
Great place to learn and listen about the restored truth.
It has fun history about it. And lot of my friend was there. It a group activities place to be.
Fantastic place. Wonderful people and free tours. Highly recommend!
This was the most amazing thing I have ever seen if you ever get a chance to see it go today is the last day there's always next year.
It is where the Restored Church of Jesus Christ got its start.
A great place for families. Lots of interactive exhibits. A fun way for kids and adults to learn the history of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints.
Like millions of others, I came here for the pageant. The visitors center is a nice facility in a beautiful setting, with very friendly people to explain everything.
We came during COVID so there we no guided tours, but we still were able to walk around and read the engravings. A very spiritual place. I've always wanted to visit here.
This is a review of ALL the historic sites for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, including the Grandin Building, the Hill Cumorah, the Sacred Grove and houses at that site, and the Peter Whitmer farm (which is about 40 mins away from these other places). Everything is so orderly here and so well done. Beautifully maintained too. The tour guides are always so welcoming and can give tours according to whatever time frame you are working with...very adaptable. Tell them up front how long you have. Bathrooms are so clean and open to anyone to use, which is very handy. I've used them many times even when I've had no time or interest for tours. I live in Buffalo, so go quite a bit and learn new things everytime as each guide has their own way of sharing things. There is no set script, which I appreciate. They love questions and always try their best to answer them. Winter and summer hours are different, I believe. So, make sure you check times. All sites close and open at the same time. The Palmyra temple grounds are open for visitors to walk around on too. Always very pretty landscaping when it's not covered in snow. Lights when dark. And gates stay open later than 9 pm for the temple. All these places to visit have such a serenity and peace to them. They really feel sacred. The temple and Sacred Grove are great places to meditate too. Other than the temple, all these places to visit are open everyday!
The tours are awesome and this site is so special to learn about the history. Everyone should plan on coming here at least once.
Just visited the center and didn't see the pageant. The exihibits are professionally done, but I'd recommend the Smith Family Farm tour over the visitor center just because it has a period authenticity that cannot be recreated with videos and interactive media.
Such a neat place to be. The tours and videos they share are wonderful. Definitely one of the highlights of our trip.
Visitor's center is very nicely done. The Moroni Monument was interesting but hard to view due to the steepness of the hill and positioning of the monument, but the art work and history is amazing. I came during a slow season so no crowds to deal with... Loved it.
I loved the statue of Jesus Christ and felt sp much peace as they played some of His words. I also enjoyed a few movies about families. You can spend a few minutes or a few hours and have a good experience either way.
Such a cool place to look down the hill and imagine a huge battle that took place 2000 years ago between the Nephites and the Lamanites. It is also so cool that a resurrected being Moroni who originally buried the plates there appeared to Joseph on that very hill as a resurrected being to recover them and restore the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Days Saints!
It was so fun and the restoration video in the theater was great!
A beautiful and peaceful site to visit. You can drive to the top or walk up the path.
It has cool history behind one of the few, and by far the largest, religions that began in America.
There's also a visitor's center that has a video you can watch about the history. Accessible bathrooms too.
I know they host a Hill Cumorah pageant each year on the hill as well, but we weren't there then.
The pageant was superb! Very well put together. Hospitality of Palmyra and the Visitors Center was top-notch. I was really impressed on the organization that went into the event notably the parking. My children are still talking about the visit and expect that they will be for years to come.
First time visit! Was even better than I expected! Awesome pageant, great environment and very friendly and curious staff and performers! Would highly recommend to anyone!
It is definitely worth your time if you are in the area, or even if it is a little out of your way . It is an eye opening experience to learn more about the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day-Saints and its history. I found the tour guides very helpful and knowledgeable. I strengthened my faith in Jesus Christ as well. Come visit on your next trip to upstate New York!
What a great spirit there. Friendly people to answer questions and a beautiful hike and view.
I went for the pageant and I cannot deny the Spirit that was there.
Make sure to stop by the visitors center to get your (LDS) church history map stamped.
A great visitor center, lots of info, the marker on the top has a great promise on it. You could spend a half hour or a full hour here ( not during pagent times)
I loved very kind and attentive people. If you visit it in winter it should be warm. To climb the monument you must climb the exercise the place is good and beautiful
I really enjoyed visiting the Hill Cumorah where Joseph received the records for the Book of Mormon.
We visited the Hill Comoran when it was rainy and cold and it was still such a beautiful and special place to see! The visitor s center has great videos and such that are really informational and the monument on the top of the hill is really cool to see. Not to mention the view from the hill is spectacular. I d love to visit again!
The Hill Cumorah Pageant was an absolutely wonderful experience! LDS or non-LDS alike can enjoy the story of the Book Of Mormon.
Saw the pageant there. Awesome. Kids loved it but hated the loud angry mob outside the gates.
