Our guide was an awesome geek lord of the rings fan. His name was Flint if I remember well. He was good and made it a great experience ! Great weapons, armors and prosthetics parts. Worth the visit if you’re in Wellington!

It was awesome to see all the props that Weta have made & to get a look into how it is done. Our guide was fantastic, sharing lots of extra knowledge & passion for the films she loves. Highly recommend for any Lord of the Rings fans or movie fans in general.
