an Orc from LOTR movieWeta Workshop in Miramar Wellington has loads of tourists going there daily. There's a small shop, a film to be seen, and a (charged) visit to the Workshop. The Workshop is quite interesting because a visitor can see props from various movies that Weta has had a hand in, and tourists get to see how jewellery, scenery etc is made.
I have noticed however that since the Miramar bus changed its route, there are not that many people going to Weta on the number 2 route where visitors have to change buses at Miramar shops. Mind you, if they hang around the Miramar shopping area for a little while they can pop into the Roxy Theatre, and ask if they can go upstairs for a few minutes to look at the lounge ceiling. It's worth missing out on the first connecting bus (they go every 15 minutes or so) just to admire the art deco Roxy interior which was done up by the Weta people.
