What travelers are saying
- Susan MCorpus Christi, TX242 contributionsI was with my son-in-law and two granddaughters for a day in Denton and after driving around the Courthouse Square this was an impulse stop. I had read about the Chapel and wasn't sure my family would enjoy it. But we were close... So glad we stopped! We had the place to ourselves which was especially nice. The stained glass windows are wonderful. We all enjoyed our time in the Chapel for different reasons. My youngest granddaughter loved walking around the rock garden next to the Chapel. A lovely visit!Written March 2, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- mshapiro99Sterling, VA1,137 contributionsBeautiful to look at, this building was hand crafted when it meant something to have a nice Courthouse in the town square. Now a Museum, it's worth a visit!Written January 13, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- crisls20007 contributionsWe have seen everything from Shrek the Musical to Shakespeare at the Campus Theatre and it has been a delight every time. There's no such thing as a bad seat in the house and We love getting to meet the actors and actresses after the shows. I had season tickets a few years ago so I was up there all the time. This past year I didn't have time for season tickets but look forward to getting them again soon when my kids are out of the house! Great time with friends! A memorable experience in live theatre!Written March 3, 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.

- dallas_blahNew York City, NY122 contributionsEverything about this place invites you to feel at ease when you work. There is solid WiFi. There is a Starbucks at the front door. You can eat and drink in the library. There is a variety of furniture to suit your needs and mood. There are windows! There are power outlets - but look for one before you plant.
TIP Park on N Austin Ave or E Third Street to stay away from restricted parking.Written December 13, 2018This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Corey GDenton, TX1 contributionWe came here for hiking and a picnic. plenty of secluded spots where you're unlikely to be bothered by other hikers. Great Views of the creek and many beautiful trees. I will definitely be returning.Written November 28, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Karen S RDenton, TX13 contributionsReally interesting history, but even better if you can catch a tour. The folk who tell the history really know their stuff. Call ahead see when the tours are running, generally spring and fall. Perfect for scouts, school groups, civic groups, old or young.Written October 27, 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- eatsleeptourDallas, TX750 contributionsI was up in Denton so decided to stop and check out their community market. There were a lot of very interesting booths and food options. They also had free musical entertainment which was excellent. I've been to several community markets and this is probably one of the better ones. Definitely worth a stop if you're visiting Denton on a SaturdayWritten June 6, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- GarrettB675Denton, TX48 contributionsThe courthouse itself is one of the most beautiful in Texas, and the grounds are a fun place to hang out. The square around the courthouse has a lot of quality restaurants and interesting shops.Written September 22, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Allison S1 contributionThis was the best surprise in north Denton. There are TWO HUGE antique stores in one mall. Each dealer keeps their booth updated, it seems weekly, because I have found new items every time I go. The shop is super clean and the people working are friendly and seem to know where or what booth you can find things in if you are looking for something special. I am a crafter and will only buy my Dixie Belle products there because the vendor is ALWAYS changing her products out and all of the paint has been fresh. If you see her working it is great to talk and get ideas from. If you are heading through Texas you will be on interstate 35E so make this a stop and you won’t regret it! I want to see if I can rent a spot to sell my crafts because it’s a friendly place to beWritten March 26, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- SwimfinsHouston, TX794 contributionsTook the kids to Lone Star in the last hour of open skating on a whim - the staff gave us a bit of a discount since there where only about 50 minutes left before open skating ended.
The skates were pretty comfortable for being rentals. The place was clean, including the bathroom. We’ll go back when the kids are ready to skate again.Written July 27, 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
