Well, I don’t belive that non-mormons are allowed to enter into mormon sanctuaries.
You can’t even visit a mormon church if you aren’t mormon.
Someone correct me if I’m wrong.

They aren’t called churches, they are called Stakes.
Inside, they are more like activity buildings that churches.
Can you visit? Sure. Do they like your money? Sure do.
But they are kinda like Moslems. If you know a few they are very nice. When in the majority, some of the nastiest people you will ever meet. I know this from experience.
But the Watchtower people sure can visit you!
I was invited a couple of times actually went. Don’t worry, LOL They didn’t convert me. ;)
My understanding is that non-Mormons can’t go into their temples, but neither can a lot of Mormons. You have to be ‘qualified’ to enter the temples. When the big Mormon Temple was built outside DC some years back, it was open to the public UNTIL it was ‘sanctified,’ following which NO non-temple-eligible Mormon could ever again enter.
When one of my kids was dating a Mormon, we learned that had my kid converted and married the Mormon, and had they married in the temple, we would not have been allowed to attend the wedding itself; however, we would have been allowed to pay for it, and the following reception. Thank you very much.
The local ‘churches’ or ‘stakes’ are different. I believe each has a small ‘temple’ or sanctuary, but the buildings are for other social/athletic purposes. A Mormon neighbor’s son had a wedding (non-temple) that we were invited to and attended. The bride was not Mormon. The wedding was in a non-temple room, with reception in what appeared to be a gym across the hall. Mormons are big into fitness and music, so there were ample rooms to develop those areas.

I do business with the local Mormans and am in their churches all the time both escorted and alone......have for years......
