Denton Vacations

Fans of music, cowboys, and Tex-Mex will be in heaven on Denton vacations. The town of Denton is located at the north end of the Dallas-Fort Worth metro area in northeast Texas. What started as a railroad town in the mid-1800s has become a bustling college town fostering a thriving arts and cultural life proud to be a "no-fracking" zone.

Major Attractions

Booking Denton packages gives you plenty to do and see. First stop should be the Denton County Courthouse on the Square, a Baroque-styled building that is the final resting place of area founder John B. Denton. Bayless-Selby Museum and the Denton County African American Museum are two others that shouldn't be missed. When you stay in hotels in Denton, you are close to two major Texas universities— Texas Women's University and University of North Texas. Check out the Little Chapel in the Woods on the Texas Women's University campus. This tiny chapel was dedicated to Eleanor Roosevelt in 1939, and features stained glass windows and area artwork. Also try to see the ghost of "Goatman" on the iron through-truss Old Alton Bridge—if you dare.

Festivals and Events

Plan Denton vacations at different times of the year to take advantage of various seasonal activities. In the spring, immerse yourself in music and art at the Denton Arts and Jazz Festival, where seven stages feature nonstop music. Spend hot August nights at the North Texas State Fair and Rodeo. This annual event hosts over 100,000 people over nine days for food contests, music concerts, and local pageants. This is a true celebration of the American Cowboy, with rodeos and livestock competitions. Or take a Victorian Christmas tour at the Denton County Historical Park in December.
