You don't have to be religious to appreciate the architecture of the Crystal Cathedral. Visitors of all faiths are welcome on the 34-acre (14-hectare) grounds for self-guided or docent-led tours through the cathedral and other facilities, including the Memorial Gardens, Cathedral Cultural Center, Tower of Hope, and Arboretum.
Crystal Cathedral is located in Garden Grove, about 10 minutes southeast of Disneyland. The best way to get here is by driving; take Interstate 5 to the State College Boulevard/The City Drive exit.
The cathedral is open for cultural visits Monday to Saturday. Masses are held on Sunday for those who’d like to attend a worship service.
The Crystal Cathedral has long been known for its music program, thanks in part to its magnificent pipe organ. It’s the largest European-built instrument in the United States—and one of the largest on the planet.
