Want evening entertainment?

Denton has a lot of live music clubs, and many of them play alternative rock rather than country and Western. The Dallas Observer voted Dan’s Silver Leaf “best live music venue” for its roots and rock music lineup and atmosphere.

Want creative meeting venues?

The Center for the Visual Arts has two galleries, a dance studio, a reception hall and two classrooms. The Campus Theater is a renovated 1949 movie house, home to many performing arts organizations.

Want to meet in a place with history?

The Denton County Courthouse houses an award-winning history museum. Little Chapel-in-the-Woods and the Old Main Building are on the Texas Women’s University campus. Historic homes include the Davenport-Ivey House and the Herrick House. The Bayless-Selby House Museum showcases Victorian fashion, crafts, culture and architecture.

Want to team-build?

The Learning E.D.G.E. leads team-building programs and skills development workshops at Meritt Bois D’Arc Ranch, which also has conference space and 18 sleeping rooms.

Want group activities?

Golfing, disc-golf, horseback riding, drag racing, fishing and waterskiing are available.
