Our talented crew has contributed to numerous beloved films and TV series, such as The Lord of the Rings, The Hobbit, Avatar, King Kong, District 9, and many more. At our visitor attractions in Auckland and Wellington, we provide an opportunity to share our creativity with the world, allowing visitors to witness firsthand the artistry and craftsmanship that takes place within our workshop every day.
Embark on a global award-winning movie-making tour as you delve into interactive and immersive make-believe film sets. Our focus lies in the realms of horror, fantasy, and sci-fi, offering you a chance to get up-close and hands-on with enchanting environments, resident creatures, a hyper-realistic giant, a galactic robot, and much more. Discover the secrets behind the making of props, costumes, and creatures from iconic films like The Lord of the Rings, The Hobbit, and District 9.

But our offerings don't end there. In our Weta Caves, you can purchase a wide range of props, merchandise, collectibles, and more. What sets our items apart is that they are designed and made by the very same artists responsible for creating the epic pieces seen in the films. Take home a piece of cinematic magic and cherish it forever.
Weta Workshop's reputation has soared on the world stage, thanks in part to our contributions to sets, costumes, armor, weapons, creatures, miniatures, and more for The Lord of the Rings film trilogy.

However, we invite you to witness our magic firsthand and experience the wonder for yourself.

"Awesome tour!! Lots of LOTR items for fans. If you don't want to spend the money for the tour, definitely still go and check out the Cave and gift shop (lots to see & free!). If you're debating going to this one or Weta Unleashed in Auckland, I would do this one but they're both very different. The one in Auckland doesn't have anything from LOTR in the tour."
"Must visit for fans. They have a lot of stuff like merchandise, art books, action figures, and property replicas (which some you can buy). Booking for a tour guide is recommended if you want to visit the Studio as well."
"Weta Cave, wow blew me out of the water. The detail that goes into creating each of the props were mesmerising. I was awestruck, from Avatar, Lord of the Rings and so many others. There were a tour available but couldnt take it this time around, I believe they take you through the whole studio in detail. Will join it next time I am in Wellington. I could have wandered for longer but we were on a quick stop on our way into town. Loved the Trolls by entrance leading to the front doors, make sure to pose for some photos with them. Gladly recommend Weta Cave to everybody."
"The trip was absolutely amazing. If you are into movie making techniques or behind the scenes type stuff this is definitely a must! The tour guide, I can't remember his name, was really helpful in making sure the tour was a memorable experience. You can't take any photos inside the tour but I didn't need to in order to cherish the experience. The attached photo is of one of the statues inside the shop/lobby. 10/10 a must do for a wellington trip!"
