Explore interactive and immersive make-believe film sets, focusing on the worlds of horror, fantasy and sci-fi.
Let your imagination run wild
Looking for exciting things to do in Auckland? Look no further than Wētā Workshop Unleashed – one of the city's premier Auckland attractions. Our wildly immersive experience takes you on a journey through the wacky world of movie making. It's a mind-bending 90-minute hosted tour centred on three fully developed and original film concepts: a nail-biting horror, a fantasy epic, and a mind-bending sci-fi.
Part one: Horror
The Wētā Workshop Unleashed experience - Auckland activities


The Animatronics and Prosthetics department is 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: Fantasy

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: Sci-fi
The Wētā Workshop Unleashed experience - Auckland activities


It’s time to walk onto a film set of the science fiction adventure movie Origins. Projected light plays across the stage in a stunning display with an epic sci-fi soundtrack begins. A gigantic robot and epic spaceship immerse you in an atmospheric sci-fi wonder...
Lights, camera, action!
Memories to cherish forever

#WētāWorkshopUnleashed

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.

Definitely worth it! World class!
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.

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..



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!

Operation ? There's some alien organs to harvest!
