The eternal question for intergalactic travellers! While we currently don’t offer dedicated spacecraft parking, we do have plenty of terrestrial car parking options at SkyCity. If your craft is taller than 2.1 metres or has a cloaking device, we recommend teleporting down.
We also offer SkyCity parking validation for anyone who purchases a tour, creative workshop or spends over $49 on retail in the Wētā Cave. Validation will reduce the hourly rate of parking.
Happy landing!
Yes! Photography is welcomed at Wētā Workshop Unleashed. There’s also the opportunity to receive a free video within the tour space, so you’ll be able to take home a fun memory of your experience.
Our tours are currently offered in English and Mandarin, with translated tours also available on our app in French, German and Japanese. Download the app instore on arrival or ask our team for assistance.
As for Klingon, Elvish, or Dothraki—we're working on it. Stay tuned for future updates as we aim to cater to speakers from every realm.
Absolutely! Though just a heads up—some of our experience is horror themed and parental guidance is advised for younger children. Guests have the option to skip our horror house if they wish.
Some
materials used throughout our tour may trigger allergic reactions in some
guests. These materials include latex, silicone and foam. Please email us if
you have any questions.
We invite you to get hands-on with practical effects and props—don’t worry, we don’t mean the singing and dancing type of interaction!
Yes, we have rentable lockers available for you to store any medium to large sized bags, including suitcases, starting from $4. You can store your luggage up to 24 hours.
Creativity can be messy!
In our Intro to Scars and Scrapes Workshop, you will be using special effects makeup, and in our Intro to Worldbuilding Workshop you will be using paints. We provide aprons to protect your clothing, but just in case, don’t wear
anything you don’t want to get messy!
We get it—once you step into our world, it’s hard to leave. While we’d love to offer permanent residency in our castles and spacecrafts, local zoning laws and our resident creatures make it tricky.
Why not take a piece of the magic home instead? Visit the Wētā Cave for souvenirs to transform your home.
