There are two different tours; both feature the history of the Cheesehead. But the deluxe tour allows you to make a cheese-novelty of your own. The story of how the owner got started is explained with passion through the tour guides. Perfect for out-of-state visitors. 30 min and 1 hour tours. Also a gift shop. Street parking available.

The Original Cheesehead Factory has a store and factory tours. The very first Cheesehead hat is on display. For an extra charge you can make your own foam Cheesehead hat (or other novelty foam item). Also: cheese puns. Tours need to be booked in advance.
