From fantastical costumes and prosthetics to large-scale props and weaponry, 3D models, and animatronics, New Zealand’s Weta Workshop is a one-stop-shop for movie special effects. Most famous for their Academy Award-winning work on theLord of the Rings films, the studio has also worked on films includingGodzilla,Avatar, andSpiderman.
The Weta workshop was a fun and exciting experience! The guides were all super friendly, and the activity was a good length. I was very pleased with our time at Weta.
Our tour guide really knew his stuff and took the time to answer all of our questions. This tour wasn’t super long but did not disappoint! Definitely worth the cost of admission. Would gladly go again!
I knew about Weta Workshop from the Lord of the RIngs association but was amazed at the involvement with over 200 other movies. Hearing about their work on the Gallapoli display prompted a return to the Te Papa museum.
Seeing the creations of “Dr. Tinfoil” and hearing about his prop-making process was a bonus. As were the facts I learned about Wellington during the tour.
