Delve into movie magic with the Wētā Workshop Unleashed Experience at Auckland’s SkyCity. This 90-minute movie-making tour takes you through three fully themed original environments (horror, fantasy and sci-fi), all created and designed by the dedicated artists of five-time Academy-award winning Wētā Workshop. This is your chance to get up-close and hands-on with enchanting environments, resident creatures, giants, a galactic robot and much more. Each environment is brought to life with a stirring cinematic soundtrack, animatronic creatures and hyper-realistic sculptures.

  • Part 2: 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 3: Sci-fi
    • 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 intergalactic soundtrack begins. A gigantic robot and epic spaceship immerse you in an atmospheric sci-fi wonder.
