Awesome experience with a great tour leader Taylor, thank you for being wonderful. Learnt so much about the Weta world and how involved it is in creating, making and giving to the world of Movie's. The time and effort put in to create these things is amazing, let alone the time and effort to put on these creations if you are the actor. Well worth the visit. Thank you for your talent. Absolutely amazing.

The tour was both informative and fun. We were amazed as to how many movies the workshop has played a part in. Really enjoyed the hands on stuff

Enjoyable visit especially for LOTR fans. Some epic props like “Sting” and the sword of Elendir (both shattered and reforged). Lots of props from other films to see including District 9, Elysium and Avatar. We had the max group number of 16 for our slot and it felt a bit crowded in each room. With the jaunty guide cheering us through, it felt a bit Disney compared to the normal NZ laid back feel.

We did the transfer from wellington to the weta workshop. The transfer was great, our driver was very knowledgeable about wellington and very friendly. Our tour guide for the workshop was also good but overall our experience of the day wasn’t great. We expected it to be comparable to the harry potter studios in watford, but instead this felt like it had been set up as a way to get money without actually having the props to justify having an experience. Also the fact that you couldn’t take any pictures added to our disappointment. Plus having to spend 15 mins in a room to play with tin foil? Other than a few swords, I’m not sure we saw anything from the lord of the rings.

When you think of Weta, the Lord of the Rings trilogy probably springs to mind. Yes the company is associated with designing and manufacturing the film’s iconic armour and swords However, Weta’s creative process and talented team are much more than just those epic films. This tour offers a fascinating glimpse behind the scenes and is a MUST Do for all creative souls. Nestled in a deceptively small warehouse in Wellington, this tour offers a comprehensive journey through this family business’s remarkable expansion. It traces its path from humble beginnings to becoming a global powerhouse, renowned for collaborating on major blockbusters but keeping its founding ethos to still make time fore more personal local projects in New Zealand. Well worth a visit if your down in middle earth sometime.

We had a great tour led by Bailey and Molly. Learned a lot about different movies Weta has worked on and different techniques. Really cool to see some original props used in movies. Can't take photos in all the rooms but still worth it to see the originals.

A must see experience and a fun day out. Friendly and informative guide. But felt rather rushed during the tour as another group directly behind us, would have liked more time in the hands on area so the kids could have had a more tactile experience. Unfortunately a very expensive gift shop, meant we didn't bother with t shirts/caps which we would normally buy.

Super nice to have a look behind it with good explanation. Lots to see and see, and sometimes do something yourself. The information is much
