The Visitors Center and bookstore are open from 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Monday through Sunday.  The auditorium (prayer hall) remains open from 6:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. every day.

Devotional Programs--Held daily in the auditorium at 12:30 p.m. 

These brief programs consist of readings from the Baha'i sacred texts and scriptures of other world religions. No talks or sermons are delivered, and no elaborate ceremonies practiced. Since the Baha'i Faith has no clergy, no one person leads devotional programs. Instead, invited readers, who may be adherents of any religion, recite or chant the holy scriptures. Sunday programs sometimes feature music from the House of Worship Choir and chanting in various languages. Only music based on words of holy scripture and sung a cappella by a choir or soloists is used in the auditorium; recorded and instrumental music are not permitted there.
