Hobbiton™ Movie Set

Film and television basesNight view
Open tomorrow at 08:30-21:00
刘小心🇳🇿:“New Zealand 🇳🇿 Hobbytown: The immersive Midland World Tour View (5/5) Hobbytown's scenery is simply postcard-level, completely restoring the Shire scenery in the "Lord of the Rings" and "Hobbit" movies. Whether it is green grass, hobbit caves on hillsides, or well-maintained gardens and crops, it feels like you have really entered the Middle-earth world. The Hobbit Cave in the sun is brightly colored, perfectly blended with the surrounding natural environment, and every angle is beautiful. I especially like the iconic round doors and windows, full of fairy tale colors. Fun (4/5) As a movie lover, Hobbitun is very interesting. Guides will guide visitors through the Hobbit caves, explaining the anecdotes and details of film shooting, making the whole tour lively and interesting. It’s exciting to be able to experience movie scenes, such as sipping a ginger beer at the Green Dragon Tavern or taking pictures at Bilbo Baggins’ doorstep. This is not only a simple sightseeing, but also an immersive experience, making people seem to be part of the Hobbit world. Cost-effective (3/5) In terms of cost-effectiveness, the ticket price of Hobbitun is relatively high. Although it includes a guided tour and a glass of Green Dragon tavern drinks, it can be a big expense for budget-bound tourists. Given its unique film themes and carefully maintained scenes, the investment is worth it for the loyal fans of The Lord of the Rings, which offers an unparalleled experience. However, if only pure nature lovers, may feel slightly less cost-effective. Overall, it was a worthwhile pilgrimage, but it is recommended to plan the budget in advance.”

pxy0705:“Motorola's Blue Spring is definitely a breathtakingly beautiful place. There is a winding spring here that is sky blue and very clear. The water plants under the spring float with the flow of the stream, as if you have come to a fairyland. It is really intoxicating.”

_We***61:“Kids will love this, it's quite interesting and worth a visit if you're on your way. First, you'll be taken on a tractor tour of the farm, where you can feed the lambs and alpacas. Then, there's an indoor farm show with wool shearing and other activities. The sheep on display are quite interesting, each one looking different. Headphones are available, so you can choose your preferred language.”

twinsx:“I visited it twice within two months. The buffet is good, the scenery is great, the luge is fun, and it is a must-visit place for parent-child travel. It is best to avoid holidays, otherwise be prepared. The queue for the slide is about an hour.”
Te Puia - Rotorua, NZ

4.6/5217 Reviews
Open tomorrow at 08:45-17:00
Anonymous user:“One of the must-do attractions in New Zealand's North Island, it is worth going. You can learn about the unique history and culture of the Maori people, and the performances are a must-see, very unique. There are also geysers and kiwi bird areas in the park, which are unforgettable.”

iQOO🐮:“The experience of the Waitomo Firefly Cave was amazing. As soon as you entered the cave, it was dark and quiet, and only the fireflies above you flickered like stars. Sitting on a boat, glide up and look up at the blue-green spots, as if floating in the galaxy. The whole process was quiet, no explanation, no noise, only the sound of water and light and shadow, making people completely immersed in the dreamy atmosphere. Short but unforgettable.”

yccui:“Blue sky and white clouds, it's another good day!
We visited the nearby red forest, where more than 170 different trees are planted. We learned how to identify the silver fern, a plant endemic to New Zealand.
I can't help but say that New Zealand has done a great job in protecting vegetation.”

西沙群岛司马亮:“We rushed to the Knox Fountain at 10:15, but we had to stand on tiptoe in the crowd to see the water column rising into the sky. The smell of diesel and sulfur rushed straight to our heads. But it smelled really good! The champagne pool was bubbling like a giant soda pot, and the green Devil's Bath looked like an alien dye vat. The phone couldn't capture the weird color. When we were walking on the plank road, we almost stepped into a hot mud pit. The tour guide laughed and said, "The geothermal foot bath comes with a free scalding package." The best thing was squatting on the roadside eating a sandwich, the steam mixed with the smell of earth rushed to my face, and when I looked up, the hillside was smoking, and the branches were covered with sulfur frost. It was really a boiler room on earth! It was worth the price.”
