  I visited this attraction with the intention of seeing and photographing everything related to the movies THE LORD OF THE RINGS, but it is not that type of experience, as they do not allow any photography during the tour, nor is it a set tour, it is a tour explaining how the molds and props for the movies are created, AND THEY DO NOT ALLOW TAKING PHOTOGRAPHS OF ANY COSTUME, so I found it very boring.

  If your a fan of lotr, or not; tour is informative and interesting. Amazing props from lots of different movies, get to handle some and take photos.

  To be honest, I was disappointed. This is a very controlled tour that actually doesn't show you that much as you're lead through one room after another with promo material, very controlled video content and two windows that look onto the workshop (with a limited view). There is a great presentation on make up using Jed Brophy as an example (you legend!), but again, once he is all made up, the resulting video doesn't actually give you a good look at the fully realised make up effects. There is a wonderful room full of LOTR props but you cannot take pictures due to copyright - this seemed weird, as it's not as though you can't see the props in the movies! A very different experience to Hobbiton which really invites you to step in the world and interact with it. There is a room about sculpting that invites attendees to sculpt with tinfoil, a 'hands on' experience yes, but it felt like cheap filler on the tour. If it weren't that this is the only place you can see the props up close, I wouldn't recommend.

  We had such a wonderful time. It was so interesting to learn about the behind the scenes and processes, and see some of the props and prosthetics made for some of our favourite films. Our guide was really lovely and was especially amazing with our baby who squealed (happily, she’s a fan) throughout. Definitely a must do when in Wellington.

  The staff were very friendly, and I had an amazing time. If you enjoy movies, you’ll definitely love it. Time flew by, and it became such a wonderful memory.

  Visit was ok, a little of trivial benign info and some dude rumbling about recycling and best place to go through trash. Auckland tour visit was far more interesting.

• Excellent tour

  Loved the tour and all the displays. All the crew was really friendly. This is one of the reasons why we visited New Zealand!
