This tool exists because Provo on a Sunday is not Provo on a Saturday. Most of the kitchens, the campus museums, the entertainment venues and a good share of the shops are shut; the buses largely stop. Visitors discover this at about eleven in the morning, and residents spend years working out the short list of things that reliably work. That short list is what is in here — nothing was added for the tool, and every pick links to the guide it came from.
The indoor list is genuinely short on a Sunday here, and that is the honest answer rather than a gap in our coverage.

Why Sunday needs its own tool
Provo is a college town in a county where a large majority of residents share a Sabbath observance, and the commercial calendar follows that. The practical effect is that the ordinary advice — go to a museum, get brunch, catch a matinee — fails here one day in seven. The complete Sunday guide sets out what closes and why, including the transit reduction that strands anyone relying on a bus, and what changes on General Conference weekends.
The canyon is the answer to most Sunday questions. That is not a slogan; it falls out of the structure of the day. Public land does not keep business hours, so the canyons, the lake, the parks and the trails are open when almost nothing else is — which is why this tool leans outdoors and says so rather than padding the indoor list to look balanced. The genuine indoor exceptions are worth knowing by name: the city libraries, which differ from each other and are the exception most residents miss, the family history centers, and the kitchens that do open.
On hours, we are deliberately vague and the guides are specific. Sunday hours are the single most perishable fact on this site — they change seasonally, they change between branches of the same system, and a stale hour quoted confidently is worse than no hour at all. So this tool tells you what category of thing works, and the linked guide tells you what to confirm before you drive. Confirm it. Especially in winter, and especially for anything on a canyon road that gates for the season.
If you are visiting, read the Sunday guide before you plan the weekend rather than after. If you live here and are working through the same three options, the date night generator has its own Sunday switch, and the kid activity picker covers the wet-weather version of the same problem.
Picks are re-verified when their source guides are updated. If something here has changed its Sunday hours or closed, tell us and we will pull it.
