½ Day Epic Tour

Start your day at Grace Coffee Co. before heading to the Epic Campus for your 1/2 day tour.

The Madison-based local coffee chain expanded to Verona – because locals couldn't get enough of their food and drink throughout the region. Grace Coffee has an expansive menu of delectable eats and hand-crafted coffee drinks.

Favorites include breakfast cocktails (great for brunchin'), breakfast sammies, and everything avocado toast.

Start your tour by parking and heading to the Epic Intergalactic Headquarters main entrance.

Here you'll swing by the registration desk to pick up a map for a self-guided tour. As you explore, you may encounter magic at the Wizards campus, see some familiar faces at the Storybook campus, or even encounter some furry friends at Epic's functioning farm.

Self-guided tours are offered at specific times during the week and on weekends. Check out hours for self-guided tours here.

Continue to Deep Space, where Epic team meetings and events go where no other gatherings have gone before! This one-of-a-kind, partially underground center is a realm of wonder, where the over 10,000 can be seated. Themed like MiddleEarth, you'll walk the halls with endless views of art inspired by outer space.

Pit-stop at Lou's Soda Fountain, named after Epic founder Judy’s father, who owned a pharmacy with a soda fountain. It's the perfect place for an afternoon ice cream cone or shake. All of the ice cream flavors (classic vanilla bean, chocolate, and strawberry) are made in house at Epic. You can take a look at this spot’s namesake on a large photo on the wall, and catch a glimpse of a baby carriage which presumably holds Judy.

At the Barn work becomes a delightful countryside journey! This not-so-typical office building houses over 300 employees who trot into their charming “stalls” each day, ready to gallop through the fields of productivity.

From the outside, it’s a rustic and picturesque structure that blends seamlessly with the surrounding farmland. Perched on the edge of the 350-acre Epic Farm (a real working farm), the Barn boasts stunning views that rival even the finest pastoral paintings. As you peep through the office windows, you might spot a cow happily grazing or a goat jumping over to supervise a brainstorming session.

Visit the fantastical realm of Endor – a Treehouse conference room that magically brings the charm of the forest to Epic's meetings.

Perched among the branches and lovingly named after a certain famous forest moon, this unique gem showcases our dedication to creativity and sustainability. Constructed from recycled materials, Endor stands as a testament to the artistry of a local school project, where young minds harnessed the force of imagination to craft this enchanting space.

Get your chocolate fix at the Chocolate Factory, a stop inspired by Willy Wonka. The entire Epic campus feels like Willy Wonka, to be honest, but you'll especially love this whimsical walk through candy land within the Storybook Campus.

Click your heels and step into the magical realm of Oz at Emerald City. This enchanting and extraordinary building is a playful tribute to the timeless movie Wizard of Oz and is complete with a yellow brick road that leads you on the journey.

This section of the tour journeys through the Storybook Campus, featuring 5 buildings and gardens representing children's classics – from Charlie and the Chocolate Factory to Grimm’s Fairy Tales.

Don't miss out on a delicious lunch at King's Cross, located in Epic’s corporate headquarters building. Feeding both the public and employees, this whimsical cafeteria space is modeled after London’s famous King’s Cross train station.

The cafeteria with a robust menu of food has a Harry Potter feel to it, inspired by the series but taking its own unique approach to the castle-like design.

At the Wizard Academy Campus, each building is a magical masterpiece – carefully designed to ignite the spark of imagination within everyone who walks its halls.

The meeting rooms and desk areas are adorned with spellbinding murals and moving portraits that inspire wonder and creativity. Epic staff are their own version of accomplished wizards, drawing inspiration from within the walls in which they work.

End your day back in town on the outskirts of Verona at Stone Porch Alehouse. This neighborhood spot for southern-inspired comfort food warms the soul. Fill up on decadent fried chicken, impeccably prepared seafood, and Wisconsin classics too. The taphouse features a robust collection of local and regional beers as well as cocktails, beer, and wine. Happy Hour, anyone?!
