Explore worlds of horror, sci-fi and fantasy in the making
Immerse yourself in a wildly imaginative experience that invites guests of all ages, from the curious to the creative, on a thrilling guided journey into a fantastical film effects facility. Our exciting, realistic, and authentic experience is centred on three fully developed and original film concepts: a nail-biting horror Fauna, a fantasy epic Age of the Ever-Clan and the mind-bending sci-fi Origins. We’ve written the scripts, we’ve storyboarded the scenes, and complete world-building and design. Dive into a world of the imagination as you explore filmmaking up close.
Please remember to bring your face mask (age 12+), as you'll need it to access our award-winning experience. Read our COVID requirements if you need further info - COVID-19 Response
Unleashed – Creative Workshops
After leaving our tour space bursting at the seams with creativity, visit our experienced technicians who run a series of Artist Workshops. Learn the skills used by our own Wētā Workshop crew – our workshops feature the themes of horror, fantasy and sci-fi and give you the opportunity to unleash your creative lunacy upon the world.
Unleashed Events and Updates
Part one: Scream through a horror film
The animatronics and prosthetics department are working on the horror film Fauna. Walk through the workshop and see this 1980’s style horror movie in the making, filled with details on how our ideas are being developed for the film. Visitors who dare, may enter the claustrophobic horror film set, where something lingers in the shadows...
Part two: Imagine a fantasy world
Enter our very own Artists’ Shed, a peaceful haven that shows the process of fantasy world-building through the imaginations of concept artists, who dream up a world designed for the epic movie Age of the Ever-Clan. Step through the curtain and enter their fantastical world….
Part three: Discover a sci-fi adventure
It’s time to walk onto a film set of the science fiction adventure movie Origins. Projected light plays across the stage and a stunning light display with an epic sci-fi soundtrack begins. A gigantic robot and epic spaceship immerse you in an atmospheric sci-fi wonder.

#Wētāworkshopunleashed
Weta workshop不用去到wellington，奧克蘭都有tour可以看啦~ 不要再覺得紐西蘭落後啦，其實很多賣座的荷里活電影，特效跟後期製作都是找這工作室完成。1.5小時的tour，感覺可以媲美迷你版的環球影城，亦瞬間感覺自己在真正的休年假中！
Welcome to the creative part of your mind longing to be unleashed! 🌈💥🎉 Here’s a mere glimpse at some of the details I discovered at @wetaworkshopunleashed back on Christmas Eve. Highly recommend this experience and celebration of creativity.

Auckland又多樣野玩！呢個Weta Workshop Unleashed 係魔戒特效公司嘅Guided Tour，佢展示嘅野果然係世界級，NZD45都物有所值，反而我有啲唔夠喉希望佢再收貴啲比我睇更多野添！紐西蘭咩都慢人一拍，難得有樣野可以show off比人地睇，作為local梗係唔好執輸支持下💪🏻💪🏻
Great to catch up with Sir Richard Taylor, at Weta Workshop Unleashed.
Definitely worth it! World class!

What? I'm just dissecting an extraterrestrial monster. We need to get to the bottom of these beings, but I prefer to start in the chest cavity..
