Unleashed by Wētā Workshop

Step through the portal and into the universe of Wētā Workshop in the heart of Auckland, the New Zealand creative studio behind some of cinema's most iconic worlds.

Your Unleashed guide leads the way on a 90-minute journey through the art of make believe. Follow a handful of Kiwi makers all the way to Hollywood and hear from co-founder Richard Taylor. Meet Jeff – our animatronic security guard - then slip behind the scenes where creatures are built, worlds are dreamed up and castles are made entirely by hand.

Unleashed is your chance to get hands-on! Sculpt, sketch, link chainmaille, star in your own hilarious horror scene (screaming encouraged) and help power up a giant sci-fi robot.

Don’t just look - touch it, make it, explore it. Nowhere else on earth gets you this close to the craft, creativity and imagination behind the worlds you've seen on screen.
