-- About this video --
Today we are jumping on a bus from Wellington City Centre in New Zealand and heading over to Miramar, the home of Weta Studios, Weta Cave and the Weta Workshop!
Weta are the props and special effects team behind huge movies and TV shows, most famously The Lord of the Rings and Avatar, so visiting the Weta Workshop is a must for a Lord of the Rings in New Zealand experience. #realmiddleearth
We arrive at the free portion of Weta’s offerings in Miramar, The Weta Cave. At the Weta Cave you can take a look in their mini museum of Lord of the Rings props and figurines. There is also a behind-the-scenes video to explain the work that Weta Studios and Weta Digital do.
For a more in-depth look at Weta’s work, we join a Weta Workshop Tour which takes us to one of their prop rooms and has windows looking into Weta workers creating props for their next movie. The Weta Workshop Tour allows no photography or filming but it’s a great insight into the movie industry.
After our Weta Workshop Tour, we head on one more tour to see how miniature effects are made with the Weta Thunderbirds Are Go tour. Although we don’t know much about the Thunderbirds Are Go! TV show, we are surprised to be amazed by the miniature worlds created by the Weta New Zealand team. We might even go as far as to say that it was our personal favourite Weta Tour of the day!
So what do you think of the Weta Workshop Tours in Wellington? Would you add the Weta Cave or Weta Workshop Tours to your New Zealand bucket list?

Weta Cave Workshop in Wellington, New Zealand (Capital City). Lord of the Rings!!
I have finally begun to visit Lord of The Rings filming locations. Weta Cave is in Wellington, New Zealand. Such a magical place to see how Lord of The Rings was filmed by Peter Jackson and how the costumes and makeup and design was created. I truly felt overwhelmed being at Weta Cave and they just celebrated their 10th Anniversary. I also bought some Lord of The Rings gear and super stoked to bring that home and apply it to my home decoration. Thanks so much for watching this video guys it means the world to me and I'm having fun in doing so. Please subscribe to my channel it would help me out big time as I'm heading for 100 subscribers. Thanks again

Weta cave tour Wellington New Zealand
A day trip to WETA cave in Miramar Wellington. Ben and I went on the combo tour which included Thunderbirds. This was something we said we would do after enjoying the Hobbiton tour so much in Matamata. The place was really busy, you need to book and there are some pic opportunities but also many places you cannot film or take pics so make the most of where you are able. We spent about 3 hours in total and thought it was well worth the visit.
Weta Cave Wellington New Zealand
Exhibits of props for Lord of the Rings & other films, plus a documentary & studio souvenirs.

I hate this beautiful country: Weta Cave, Wellington-New Zealand
Tempat ini tidak sepopuler Hobbiton, tetapi bagi penggemar film, Weta Cave juga layak untuk dikunjungi selama berada di Wellington. Di sini kita bisa mengintip wardrobe film-film box office seperti Lord of The Ring, Tintin, Superman, Kingkong, dll. Dan jika masih penasaran dengan proses pembuatannya? Dengan $25/orang, pengunjung dapat mengikuti Weta Studio Tours.
Dari city centre dapat diakses dengan public transport.
For information please visit:
