Share great experiences with friends!
You’re completely surrounded by The Lord of the Rings in this Museum! There is heaps to see. They have treasures from the time of the premieres of the films in 2001-2003, displays of action figures and even a few actual props from the movies (very rare!!). The Museum accommodates groups of up to 8 to 10. If you really need to bring a bigger group, talk to them because they can probably still make it happen.
You don’t need to be a Lord of the Rings fan to visit the Museum but, but for fans it is like a home from home! People, especially fans, love the Museum documentary (~30 mins) which captures Wellington at its most exciting through the eyes of engaging fans. It’s professionally made and has had some rave reviews. It transports host and visitors together into the “zone” with amazing fan experiences, humour and haunting music. Most visitors have their best time getting into a costume – or 6 – and wielding various swords, bows, axes and other character props! And, they love their photo memories. There are over 25 fan-made adult-sized replica costumes (plus cool props!) – the full Fellowship, Arwen, Eowyn, Galadriel, Faramir, Bilbo, Black Rider … and Gollum! It’s fun even with 1 person but group sessions are uproarious! And it’s great for families too!
