Interesting . Group timed guides into the worshop. Saw many props from many films and series . Done a very quick workshop using just foil! Not enough time to do much. Hoping to see some special effects make up and the line but none available that day although we did have an explanation on how they do the prothestic masks. It was good but very quick tour of 1 hour 30 mins . Recommend for lord of the rings fans as lots of props .

Really enjoyed this trip with 2 teenage grandsons, who loved the swords. Guide Angie very enthusiastic. Very thorough information. Great to be able to handle things. We were surprised that once we had booked, discovered the dollars were American, which wasn't in the blurb ( unless I missed it). So seemed more expensive than we were anticipating.

Our tour guide was the absolute best!! He was super enthuisiastic and passionate about Weta and it really transferred across to all who did the tour. His excitement was infectious. He was AMAZING!! I absolutely loved being able to see all of the hard work and passion that goes into all of the Weta projects. The tour was the highlight of our trip to Wellington along with visiting the Weta Gallipoli exhibit at Te Papa.

Super enthusiastic guide, interesting displays and great explanations. Hands on with aluminium foil fabulous too. Only wish would be to have had a peek into the live workshop areas (appreciate non-disclosure issues may be a barrier to that).

The tour guide was very knowledgeable, friendly and helpful. The tour had lots of interaction, films to watch and objects to see. Also some real people who work at weta to demo what they do. Much more interesting than other tours at other attractions

Overall this was an interesting tour and a great opportunity to learn more about Wētā and the projects the company has worked on. Our tour guide was very kind and clearly passionate about the studio. Unfortunately, it felt like much of the tour was spent watching pre-recorded videos vs. experiencing the studio itself. Be aware that this tour doesn’t really include seeing the workshop (at least the version we took). You do see some very cool original props from LOTR and other films, but the rest is spent moving through rooms seeing examples of the collectibles and a few hands-on props likely geared toward kids. We enjoyed the tour but I would say it felt more like an advertisement for the workshop than an informational experience. Worth doing if you’re a movie buff!

Our guide was very good. It has inspired me to watch all the Hobbit and Lord of the Ring and many more movies they have made.

An interesting place to visit if you are into movies like Hobbit, Narnia etc. Our guide was excellent and knowledgeable, he was able to answer any questions. No photos are allowed inside the studio, which is a bit of a shame, but still worth a visit.

What a fun, creative, inspiring experience for us and for our two grandkids, ages 11 and 15! We all also loved the separate Creative Workshop - Intro to Makeup where we made real looking wounds with blood(!?) on ourselves!

Touring weta workshop getting to see and hear all the behind the scenes stuff was so so cool. It definitely exceeded my expectations. I went alone and had a great time. One thing that I really loved was getting a peak into some of the peoples stories of how they got into their craft and wound up at weta workshop, made me recommend a very talented friend of mine to apply! There’s also a great gift shop! I love my weta workshop hat, people keep asking me if I work there when I wear it 😂 I would highly recommend this for any one who is an art nerd, movie buff, or LOTR fan! 💜

The Weta Workshop was excellent. Bianca, our guide, was terrific. It was awesome to see all the great work Weta has done for different movies, not just The Lord of the Rings. Very enjoyable day.

Sam, our tour guide was enthusiastic, knowledgable, kind, funny, patient and made our time at Weta so much fun. I loved his passion for everything Weta Workshop.

What an amazing experience to go through Weta Workshop. It was incredible to witness the work that is created by very talented individuals collaborating together. I didn't realise just how many projects Weta has been involved in. So inspiring. Definitely worth the money. It was more than I expected.

Great activity if you appreciate all the hard work that goes into producing costumes and props for movies. Definitely recommend for Tolkien fans. I had Tarsh as my tour leader and she was amazing! Such a wonderful perso !

This tour exceeded our expectations. The kids really enjoyed it and my husband was really soaking it all in. Our tour guide, Imogen, was so knowledgeable and we thought she really added to our excitement with her enthusiasm. Also, my daughter unexpectedly needed some assistance, and all the staff went above and beyond to make sure she was comfortable during our tour.
