Provo has much to offer, and it's definitely a college town. The university and its amenities offer so many things for locals and visitors to do. Quality sporting events abound depending on the season of course. We also love the four main museums: Museum of Art, Bean Life Science Museum, Museum of Peoples and Cultures, and the Museum of Paleontology.
