Review & FAQ:

For those who love the digital effects, animation, costumes, and special effects in movies such as Lord of the Rings, The Chronicles of Narnia and Avatar, visiting Weta Cave is a special thrill. Weta is the visual effects company based in Wellington and the Weta workshop is a multi-Academy Award-winning effects and design production facility. Weta Cave is the public face of Weta, with the mini museum filled with props and figurines of characters from the movies Weta worked on. The movie of the behind-the-scenes of Weta's workshops allows visitors to see how it all works, since a visit to the real workshops is off limits. The Weta Cave Shop offers a range of merchandise, such as collectible sculptures created by the Weta artists, replicas of authentic props from some of most popular movies, jewelry, clothing, books, DVDs, prints, posters, and souvenirs.
