Why this plan works

The 3 stops cover about 1.5 miles total, which keeps you in one pocket of Orem instead of crossing town between them. SCERA Center for the Arts is the main event and takes the biggest block of time; the other stops are built around it. It finishes at THE CHOCOLATE a dessert cafe — a short, low-effort stop you can skip if you're ready to call it. Best suited to couples, friends, solo, and adults who want a planned Orem outing without improvising between stops.
