2020-03-28 10:00 - 13:00 UTC | CH Collins Stadium Parking Lot, 1500 Long Rd., Denton, TX, 76209, United States
Unfortunately we are canceling Touch a Truck. We hope to reschedule for a future date. With the virus situation, and with City edicts on large events, plus vehicles backing out of the event we have no choice.
If you feel led, please consider making a donation to Explorium to help us keep the lease and our employees engaged so we can pick up where we left off once we reopen. This is a difficult time for small businesses and non profits and we appreciate your engagement.

Click Here To Buy Tickets
What’s a Coffee Crawl?
Essentially, it’s a purposeful tour of local coffee shops, one at a time, within a given geographical location, that includes sampling and any entertainment or shenanigans the organizer may insert.
Why You’re Crawling!
This event is a fundraiser for Explorium – Denton Children’s Museum. With help from the City of Denton, and with the cooperation of each of these local shops, you’re helping keep the doors open to Denton’s newest family experience.
What to Expect…
Each coffee shop on this passport will offer you a special drink or treat for this event. You are welcome to purchase additional items while you are there if you’d like! While in line, one of our volunteers will stamp your passport indicating you’ve made that stop. If you go to all seven shops on the passport, you will receive a special commemorative mug! Your visit must take place between 8 am and 11 am. If you’ve gone to all seven, please stop by any location to receive your free mug!
How to Get the Most Out of Your Crawl:
• Dress for the weather, and leave your pets at home.
• Plan to park and walk to the “Downtown” shops all at once. Carpool if you can!
• Shop while you sip. These shops and other nearby retailers have great holiday gifts!
• Post on social media and tag us @ExploriumDenton. Use #dentoncoffeecrawl2020.
• Continue the spirit of giving by donating at exploriumdenton.org/give.
Social Distancing Guidelines:
Explorium Denton will be following protocols that will help ensure your safety and the safety of those around you during our 3rd Annual Coffee Crawl.
Masks must be worn over your nose and mouth at all times while inside the shop and when around people that are not in your group; if you forget your mask, we will have extras on-hand. Hand sanitizing stations will be available throughout the event. Sanitizer use will be required before you enter coffee shops. When you check in, staff or a volunteer will be taking temperatures before you begin your crawl; anyone with a temperature of 99.6 or higher will not be allowed to participate and will be reimbursed.
