Great Experience!

David_P, Feb 2026

This is a great experience! Jack Charles showed us how to make scars that look identical to scars in horror and action films.

Response from Host, Feb 2026

Kia ora, Thank you for your lovely review! We’re so pleased to hear you had such a great experience and enjoyed learning how realistic scars are created for horror and action films. Jak will be delighted to know their demonstration helped make the session so engaging and memorable. We really appreciate you taking the time to share your feedback. Ngā mihi nui, Wētā Workshop Reservations Team

Fun but felt rushed

Sarah_B, Mar 2025

We're huge LOTR fans and hope this would be a highlight of our trip It was fun, but felt a bit rushed. Instructor was friendly and helpful. Didn't receive a certificate at the end as promised.

Response from Host, Mar 2025

Kia Ora, Thank you for leaving us a review of your time in our workshop! We're glad to hear you had fun, and the instructor was helpful. We're very sorry to hear that you didn't receive your certificate! If you are still around, or ever back around, we would happily provide with your will earned certificate. Ngā mihi | Thank you The Unleashed Crew

Fun experience!

Case was really fun and a great teacher. My family of five all really enjoyed doing this. It was especially special as we were the only ones signed up so we had a private class.
