Orlando Florida Temple, Religious building in Windermere, Florida, US.
The Orlando Florida Temple is a temple of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints located in Windermere, a suburb west of Orlando, Florida. The building has a white exterior made from precast concrete mixed with marble chips, and a gilded statue of the angel Moroni stands at its top.
The temple was dedicated in 1994 as the first of its kind for this church in Florida. Its opening reflected the growth of the Latter-day Saint community across the southeastern United States.
The name comes from its site near Windermere, west of Orlando, and it was the first LDS temple in Florida. It is not used for Sunday worship; members with a current temple recommend enter for ordinances in four ordinance rooms and five sealing rooms. A public open house before the 1994 dedication drew over 90,000 visitors.
The temple sits in Windermere and is most easily reached by car, as public transport options in the area are limited. The grounds are open to all visitors, but the interior is reserved for church members only.
Since 2024 the temple has been closed for its first major renovation since it opened, a process that typically takes several years for buildings of this type. These closures often come with a brief open house period before rededication, giving non-members a rare chance to see inside.
