As I've been told, anyone can go into the buildings, but only to certain areas, as other areas are "sacred" and only for baptized Mormons.

This is quite the opposite of the Kingdom Halls of Jehovah's Witnesses, as anyone may go into any part of these buildings!

Yes you can attend LDS services anytime. Yes you can visit the Temple, they do have tours. However there are some areas in the Temple you are not allowed in for even members except under certain circumstances.

I belong to the church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day saints (Mormon)
To answer your question the answer is yes non members are allowed and welcomed to visit the temple open house for a few weeks before dedication, after that the Temple is only open to worthy LDS members.
There is a difference between Temples and Chapels

Non LDS members are welcome at our chapels on Sunday's for public religious worship
We do not pass a plate to request donations as part of our worship services..
for our basic beliefs see www.mormon.org

Any person can enter the temple before it is dedicated. After it is dedicated, only worthy LDS members who have been interviewed by their bishop and stake president can attend. It is dedicated as a house to the Lord and he has set certain standards those who attend must be living by.
Any person can attend an LDS church, there is usually a sign on the building that says "Visitors Welcome" I assume that is on all LDS church houses. There are three meetings each week, 2 are classes that are separated by gender/age, and then Sacrament meeting where everyone meets together. We partake of the sacrament and have speakers generally from the ward or stake that have been asked to talk on a certain gospel principle. I encourage you to attend, even if just to see what we're all about.
Anymore questions, let me know or talk to your local missionaries!

This is the info i have found
Yes. After the temple is completed, there will be an organized open house (typically multiday) for the general public. During the open house, information will be provided to explain the different functions and ceremonies performed in the temple and answer questions. After the open house, the temple will be dedicated to the Lord and open only to worthy Church members.
And this
Yes. You are always welcome to worship with us.
To find a place of worship, you can use our online chapel locator or look in the phone book under "The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints." Generally a local chapel is listed, but you may also find the name of the local congregational leader, called a bishop or branch president, who would be happy to help you.

Meeting times vary according to area.

Before coming to a meeting, you might like to learn more about what to expect when attending a service. Come and worship with us! http://www.mormon.org/learn/0,8672,1111-1,00.html

Mormons state that what they do inside is not secret, but sacred. Sacred my but. Anyways. A mormon cannot go to the Temple unless they have had their endowments taken out. A mormon who has not taken their endowments out can be babtized for the dead, but that is in the lower chambers of the temple, like basement. Babtism for the dead is were mormons take records from parish's and other church of members thathave died and Mormons will babtize or marry them into their religion. So NO, nonmormons cannot go to the Temple, only Temple Square and the Tabernacle building.

Everyone that goes to Salt Lake City go to visit the Mormon Temple and hear the Mormon Tabernacle Choir so I am going to guess yes, unless they just have recitals for guests.

You can attend a local lds church building. But to get into the actual temple, you have to be in good standing with their church.

My inlaws were Mormons. I went to their funerals in LDS churchs. I think temples are reserved for the "in crowd."

To the churches, everybody is welcome. while it talks approximately travellers, that's pertaining to those who're not Mormon's. The construction is observed as a church, and the people in it are area of 'a Ward'. there are a number of wards that make up a Stake, etc. that's the business enterprise in the church. Church conferences start up at 9am. i'm uncertain if there are the different conferences at different circumstances, yet i be attentive to that 9am, in each church, there are conferences beginning. They final 3 hours. be happy to attend all 3 hours or only area.
