Went with my sis on Fri, my second time after a number of years, her first. Loved it! If you've got sensory issues maybe take the shortcut on the Fauna route, otherwise all good. Did the scene building workshop after, fun albeit fast. Learnt a few tricks in the process and enjoyed the group.

We took our son to the Auckland Wētā Workshop for his birthday over the weekend. The Unleashed tour was an absolutely mind-blowing experience, we enjoyed the spooky movie set and the light show the most. It was awesome to see the technology behind the screen. We also had an Intro into world build experience which was using tinfoil, cardboard and hot guns to create a theme that similar to film sets. We had so much fun in this trip, definitely well worth visit if you are in Auckland. Five stars to the team and the tours.

Just an incredible time. I use a wheelchair and the staff were super accommodating and helpful and made sure I got the full experience. Shout out to Brooke for being an amazing and hilarious guide. Every room had an incredible amount of detail and there was a great variety of themes. 100% worth the money and I'll definitely be recommending to everyone I know.

Unfortunately very lame. The tour was suited for children. The tour guide continuously addressing a group of 20 adults as junior apprentices made it very awkward..i felt like saying “please read the room”. They have obviously put in a-lot of effort and the props were great but a 1.5 hour tour about movies we have never seen was very boring, we wanted to get out of there. Perfect for a group of school kids…not adults. I wish this was portrayed more in the information online.

I had an awesome time with my partner and kids here! Really inspiring and creative 😊 my favourite part was the end part with the huge female robot from Origins!. Our tour guide Matt did a great job of hosting us, really zany silly childlike energy 😆Got a bit annoyed when I stole the spotlight with my funny vibes a few times. Overall did really great for his first day! Just leave the creepy leery nine inch jokes out of it, especially in front of mine and my partners kids, that was awkward and weird.

A great experience for all ages whether you’re a visitor or a local. It was cool to see the whole behind the scenes process at Weta Workshop. We did the 90 min Unleashed Guided Tour and it was totally worth it. Our tour guide Brook was awesome. She made it fun and insightful. She deserves a pay rise!

Nice day activity to do on a rainy day for instance. The shop is filled with cool souvenirs. The 90min-tour is worth the try! A place to discover the myriad of amazing effects that artists create behind the scenes of a variety of films
