Reviews
An insightful and educational workshop-tour. Led by bubbly "Induction Officer" Mac, we were brought through different stages of behind the scenes of movie production. We were allowed to touch/operate and feel some tools and the intricate props as well. There were also some interactive stations which were fascinating. A well run and thoroughly enjoyable session.
Excellent experience - Our guide, Kat, was very friendly and knowledgeable, taking us through the work that Weta Studios has done to help produce spectacular films like the Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit trilogies. Hyped to visit the Weta Cave in Wellington one day!
Weta Workshop Unleashed in Auckland was a very interactive and immersive experience from start to finish. The exhibits pulled us into the world of movie magic in such a creative way. Our guide was great and amusing, adding fun energy to the tour. I only wished there was more time to fully soak in every detail. Nonetheless, it was a fantastic experience that I’d definitely recommend.

Weta Workshop was such a fun and interactive experience! The tour takes you through three different worlds — horror, fantasy, and sci-fi — each filled with incredible props, costumes, and behind-the-scenes secrets. It’s amazing to see how movie magic is created, from terrifying creatures to epic fantasy weapons and futuristic worlds. Our guide was engaging and passionate, making the whole experience come alive with fascinating stories and hands-on moments. Perfect for movie lovers and anyone curious about the art of filmmaking — highly recommended!
our imaginations were unleashed after availing this tour with the whole family. 90minute tour to enjoy all the rooms they have prepared.
The Weta Workshop experience was surprisingly impressive! We really enjoyed how interactive the activities were, allowing us to get hands-on with props and special effects. Our tour guide on the 1:10 PM tour on September 3 was amazing and very entertaining, making the experience even more memorable. The staff shared fascinating behind-the-scenes information about movie making, from costumes and props to the creative processes involved in bringing films to life. It was both fun and educational, and we left with a deeper appreciation for the artistry and craftsmanship behind some of our favorite movies. Highly recommended for movie fans and anyone interested in creativity and design!
Wētā Unleashed was such a worth-it interactive experience. I honestly felt like I stepped into a world where creativity comes to life. From the moment we walked in, everything was visually stunning and full of little details that made me appreciate the magic behind movie making.
The experience was unique and interesting. It lasts roughly an hour and a half. It's like an interactive tour where the tour guide explains how practical effects are made. It was entertaining but a bit pricey. Still good for a short activity in the city
Very interactive and good indoor activity in Auckland when it's raining. Small groups and started on time!
