Things to see in Wellington
Wellington Botanic Gardens
High on the hill overlooking the city, the Wellington Botanical Gardens are an oasis that is easily accessible for locals and visitors of all ages. With an idyllic climate for horticulture, the gardens are commonly acclaimed as one of the best in the country.
With trails and paths dotted throughout, it is recommended to start at the top as the slope of the hill makes for an easier decent through the sculptured landscapes, rose gardens, and along the sculpture trail.
Located within the 25 hectare gardens, the Space Place at Carter Observatory allows visitors to explore the cosmos through a planetarium, interactive exhibits, and public viewings through the telescope.
Insider’s Tip: A must when visiting the botanic gardens, take the Wellington Cable-Car from Lambton Quay which has been operating since 1902. With several stops along the way, the experience coupled with the view is not to be missed!
The Weta Cave Film Studios
With the recent films of The Lord of the Rings Trilogy and The Hobbit movies putting a spotlight on New Zealand, The Weta Cave is a fascinating place providing visitors an insight into the cinematography that went into making the franchise. With tours that open your eyes to the magic of the movie industry, to props and visual effects, the studio brings the fantasy worlds of J.R.R Tolkien to life!

Step back in time at Zealandia, the world’s first fully-fenced urban ecosanctuary. This 225 hectare conservation project is restoring a Wellington valley’s forest and freshwater ecosystems as closely as possible to their pre-human state.
Native wildlife and that had been absent from the mainland for over 100 years has been gradually reintroduced, creating a sanctuary for the birdlife and reptiles that existed in this remote country before the introduction of mammals by humans.
