What We Do
Immersive Experiences
One-of-a-kind destinations delivered with end-to-end excellence
Engage. Entertain. Educate. Inspire.
When people enter a Wētā Workshop immersive experience, they’re offered a promise: to experience something they’ve never encountered before. Driven by spatial narrative, our exhibitions, installations and attractions have won multiple Thea Awards and garnered record-breaking visitor numbers.
We’ve designed and manufactured truly unique and culturally resonant experiences around the world, from transforming the world’s largest duty-free shopping complex in Hainan, China, into a breathtaking multisensory journey, to crafting a powerful visitor experience weaving centuries, cultures and technologies for Dubai's World Expo.

Experiential storytelling from design to opening
We design immersive experiences that are as meaningful as they are impactful. From the earliest stages of creative development, we create exceptional, deeply researched concepts that speak to audiences on an emotional level. Our design services include blue-sky creative development, concept through to detailed design, master planning, and IP development.
Creating the unforgettable
We work on projects of every scale. Our exhibitions, attractions and cultural destinations draw on the expertise of world-class designers, architects, art directors, project managers, engineers, animators and master storytellers to support each project at every stage of its development. With our creative studio and powerful manufacturing facility under one roof, we transform incredible visions into fully realised experiences.

We take projects from the earliest concept sketch through to completion, tracking across Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA) phases every step of the way.
