So yummy! Fantastic Indian food and a lovely atmosphere. We eat here at least once or twice a month and have yet to find something we haven't enjoyed. Try the "Assorted Snacks" as an appetizer!

This place is actually now called Pique Thai, but we've been regulars since they were Thai Drift 10+ years ago. Our favorites are the dumplings, pumpkin curry, and spicy pad phet -- but, honestly, you can't go wrong! Weekend dinner time can get a little busy, but it's always worth it.

This one is a little bit of a drive and it is ALWAYS busy because it is SO good. (Seriously, the best time to go is like 3pm on a Thursday.) It's extremely authentic, 100% fantastic Mexican food with a sit-down dining experience.

These guys have multiple locations (we usually go to the Orem one cause it's closer, but that's not the one in the pictures). We've heard from friends who spent time living in Vietnamese communities that this is the most authentic pho in Utah County, and we've never had a reason to doubt it! The vermicelli noodle plate is also fantastic!

This is a homegrown Utah classic! Burgers, fries, and shakes like nowhere else. All their burgers are fantastic, and if you're looking for something a little lighter try the BLT (we like it on a bun and add avocado).

Good 'ole American food! The beer battered fries are some of the best around, and their burgers and sandwiches are also great. The Chicken Cobb Salad is another favorite here too. (I promise it's one of the best salads you've ever had at a burger joint!)

This is the closest you'll find to East Coast style pizza within a decent drive. It's our favorite pizza spot around (though SLABpizza and Blaze Pizza are also good choices if you don't want to drive as far).

There are a number of these throughout the valleys but this one is the closest. This European style bakery is an awesome spot for brunch or dessert!

Experiences
Just 15-20 minutes up the road, this is a fantastic spot to enjoy the mountains. You can swim, kayak, or canoe on the reservoir (there are places where you can rent equipment in American Fork), and there is a little beach for hanging out. There are also trails up here for hiking and biking.

This is a great hike with a trailhead that's easily accessible. It's about 4.5 miles total (out and back) if you go all the way to the falls. Be aware that it's pretty much uphill the whole way up. On a scale of 1-10 it's probably about a 7 (our kids, ages 10 to 6 have done it so it's not crazy). There are also parts of the trail that get muddy and even spots where you're hiking through the stream. Totally worth it for the view though!

We love our aquarium!! It's really more of an indoor zoo with animals ranging from leopards and otters to penguins and sharks. There are 5 distinct biospheres to explore and they're working on expanding it too.
