Pick up and drop off transfer was super easy and we even stopped off at the old cinema on the way and had a look around! The tour at Wētā was great, very cool to see costumes and props used in the movies and also learnt a lot. Wish it could have gone on for longer!

Love love loved the whole thing. A must go to in Auckland. Price is bit on high side everyone should be able to see this place! Inspiring for all ages. The presenter was very cool spoke bit too fast needed to be a bit louder. Overall my 11 year old would probably go back again.8/10

The guide was amazing. Super excited to share his experience and tell us a lot interesting facts. Also the room with the make up artist and the aluminium designer was amazing. The tour was incredible.

It was a very wet Wellington day. Being picked up kept us out of the worst of the weather. The Cave was amazing, much of it was out of our price range but we did come away with a beautiful book. I had no idea Weta had worked on so many projects 160+. Being able to handle some of the props from the films was awsome. All in all I definitely recommend a visit.

We did this tour with Lester as our guide.. he was probably our favorite local guide during 2 week trip around Australia and New Zealand - very knowledgeable, enthusiastic and interesting! Great job Lester - we enjoyed when he showed as around in the park/forest where LOTR scenes had been filmed! The WETA workshop is super cool for movie buffs - be aware - there ARE some areas where you are allowed to touch items and take photos, and others where you are not.. it was fun to see one of Peter Jackson's actual Oscars though! (you can't touch that one!) - also - don't miss the super enthusiastic lady who sculpts using aluminum foil, and teaches you how to do the same - hands on! Overall - a very fun experience. Recommended.

My daughter absolutely loved this The tour guides were so helpful and really enjoyed what they did I was unwell and could not continue the tour, the staff looked after me checking on me regularly and also reported back that my 14 year old daughter was happy and ok The team were so professional and a credit to Wētā and to New Zealand tourism

Amazing opportunity to see incredible movie props up close and see behind the scenes. Enthusiastic and knowledgeable tour guides

Better than Auckland Weta. Really amazing workshop. Small bus trip. Only takes half a day. Staff were friendly and great. A must for any LoTR/Hobbit fan.

The one-and-a-half-hour tour goes very quickly, as it's broken down into blocks in separate rooms. Weekdays would probably be best because you would see the sword-makers at work, but we enjoyed our weekend visit! All the areas of arts, crafts and technology are shown.

Super interesting history and current info. Derek was our driver. He was fabulous ! AJ was our guide she was awesome! Can’t believe I hadn’t done it before in other visits to Wellington!

A fantastic experience at Weta Workshop. I particularly enjoyed seeing the memorabilia from some favourite movies and books.

Weta Workshop..."WoW!" What a trip, What a journey! Who knew our Wellington had such a hidden gem 💎 They are not just about LOTR or Avatar, the amount of movies WETA has played a part in will blow your mind 💥 From moldings of tin foil to flying dragons, moldings of latex to sculptured arms, legs, heads to full costume, 3D printing, the list goes on... I had an amazing time learning so much about our own countrys movie involvements on the big screen and can't wait to do the next tour. So if you want the full tour of this amazing WETA Workshop followed by a 2 course meal lunch at the beautiful Karaka Cafe on the Wellington waterfront afterwards, check it out on their web page or Facebook. Cost per adult is $155.00 (on this particular tour) with pick up from the bus stop at 145 Wakefield Street (next to the Michael Fowler Centre) starting with a road tour of WETA sights. You too will have an amazing time, trust me you won't regret it...this Hobbitsis...out! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Can't hear the videos inside the workshop OR the tour guide there. He didn't seem to care although if you were into the fantasy part, he would spend personal time with you explaining details...almost a split personality. The transfer driver was okay and we didn't have a car so it was necessary. It was not disabled friendly at all. My friend has near total hearing loss and I asked the guide to face him so he could at least read his lips....didn't happen. What a shame, it reflects quite poorly on the otherwise impressive artistic group. It was a unique experience, I'd say go unless you need any type of accommodation.

We did Weta Cave. Very interesting. I told them before that my son was Deaf so they made sure subtitles were on when needed. Lots of interesting things learnt

Our transfer was delayed a bit by roadworks - clearly beyond the control of the company. However, the guide, gave great information about the whole area, while we were queing in traffic. The tour itself was very interesting, showing how prosthetics are made, and giving information on the levels of skill, and detail involved in the process of model making. We are not 'Lord of The Rings' aficianados, but we thoroughly enjoyed the tour.
