We liked this one very much. It’s well themed, the staff an tour guide was very friendly. We did the Wēta Experience unleased in Auckland and it is different. Here in Wellington it’s more based on what they do as the workshop for movies, series, exhibits, etc. The store was well stocked, but they can do something about the t-shirt designs ;) Be on time for your tour!
If you’re a fan of The Lord of the Rings or The Hobbit, this is an absolute must-visit in Wellington! The place has an impressive collection of movie memorabilia that brings Middle-earth to life. They also offer a ticketed tour of the Wētā Workshop, where you can see firsthand how the props, costumes, and effects were created. It’s a fantastic experience for movie lovers and a great addition to your Wellington itinerary. Highly recommend visiting — you’ll leave with a whole new appreciation for the craftsmanship behind thes... read more

What an awesome tour! The guide was informative and all the props and look behind the scenes of many movies and how the magic comes to life.

The Weta Cave Tour in Wellington is awesome. You get a cool behind-the-scenes look at how props, costumes and effects for movies like Lord of the Rings or Avatar are made. The guides are super nice and tell lots of fun stories from the film world. You can even see real movie props up close. The shop has some great collectibles and souvenirs. Totally worth it, especially if you love movies!
