I've been here a few years ago and I went back today and it's even more fun than it used to be! Not only do you get to see the amazing props and hear about the things people do here, you get to try for yourself, you get to touch a lot of stuff and you end up with a fun photo! Loved it, and our guide Tessa was great!
If you are a movie fan, fantasy fan or even video game fan, this is an absolute must visit if you are in Wellington. The tour is going to be a highlight of our trip to New Zealand for sure. Everyone there is so friendly and passionate about what they do. For LOTR fans, you will really regret it if you don't go for this experience. Absolutely brilliant! Would go back multiple times if I lived in Wellington.
For fans of films and film making this is an experience not to be missed. A 90-minute tour with an experienced tour guide (Tammy) opened up a world of wonder about the making of costumes, props, weapons and visual effects. A great tour, which I've now done twice.
They have paid tours, but even if you don't want to pay for anything, browsing around the store is quite satisfying for me. It was fun taking picture with the trolls 😁 there's enough parking space I think. They have some great deals too. By the way, they have walk - through experience now in Auckland. Wish to visit some time later.
Very cool and worth a stop. We didn’t have time for a tour on our way through, but the shop still has some really cool pieces from movies they have worked on, and all sorts of figurines, weapon replicas, books… etc. I would best describe it as small but mighty. They have a wide range of things for sale, from $3 pencils to $2k sword replicas. Everything is wheelchair accessible, including a ramp to the entrance. It’s a small space, so can get a little crowded, but the wheelchair was still able to fit through the aisles. ... read more
