We had tickets to go to the Brigham City Temple open house at 4 p.m. on Labor Day. We arrived all dressed and ready to go, unfortunately so did about a couple thousand other people. The line to get into the parking garage where they were showing the short video before going inside of the temple was around the entire block and there were still several hundred people waiting to catch a bus from the other parking lots. Start to finish time in the hot blazing sun? About 3 hours. So, we all got back in our car and went home determined to come at a time when it wasn't so crowded. Just so you know, Thursday mornings at 7:30 a.m. are not as crowded. We got up early, got to the temple at 7:30 a.m., walked right in and had a lovely experience without any kind of a wait. The kids were 5 min. late for school, but it was worth it.
My kids have been spoiled, this is the 3rd temple open house they have been able to attend, and they were able to go inside the temple when Jameson was sealed. Jameson was really good going through the temple right up until we hit each stairwell and then as if on cue he would let out an extremely high pitched and VERY loud squeal. Every time. Wow. This kid has some lungs and he knows how to use them.

Glad you were able to go back at a better time! When we went it was also in the morning, around 9:00 and it was a weekday...no wait for us either. 3 hours would have been way too long!
Every picture I have seen of the Brigham City Temple is so pretty. I am glad you made the effort to go early in the morning - it's worth it.
It has been a year that my kids have been following the stake president's request to pray for the Philadelphia Temple to be completed on time. I don't think they've even started. . . other than the ceremonial "ground breaking" in Sept. of 2011. I'm happy that your kids are able to experience the open house!
