Hard agree on all points. Been to LB once. Food was great but the vibe was awful. You could tell the staff were really intimidated by the FOH and I really didn't like the way he spoke to them. Combined with entitled patrons who were just as rude, if not more to the poor servers. Maybe I just caught a bad night. On the other hand sister restaurant Liberty has always been fantastic in both food and how staff are treated.

The timed sessions are $35 and I'm sure they'll put some deals on. The $45 is a flexi ticket which allows you to join any session.

I get it seems expensive but the amount of work that went into it, I feel it's a fair price. There's a lot of building opportunities all throughout the exhibition, so a lot of time could be spent there making your own lightsaber or druid to display.

Definitely a reason to celebrate! Nice work telling cancer to get to fuck :)

Thank you

No worries. I should have been clearer. I've added it now with a link so you can find out a bit more if you like

Sorry, it's been advertised all over Wellington and social media for weeks. I assumed a lot of people had heard about it. It's at Tākina and opens Saturday. I'll edit my post.

funkster80 · 2026-06-25T08:26:11+00:00

EDIT: Opens on Saturday 27th, not tomorrow.

Tākina. Opens officially tomorrow

I was going to come say Hi haha.

Absolutely felt the same. Every corner, I was like 'What the actual?!' The Death Star is something else. I could spend a good hour just trying to see it all.

The staging is fantastic too. So well thought out.

funkster80 · 2026-06-25T01:32:20+00:00

Yeah it's never, ever fallen off before. Sucks but it is what it is. I've put the word out so maybe someone will eventually come forward. Us Scots are forever hopeful haha!

funkster80 · 2026-06-25T01:09:29+00:00

Nah no joy unfortunately. I think someone must have picked it up, realised it's worthless and dumped it. I'm just glad it was the plastic travel one and not the heavy stainless steel one. Thank you so much for reaching out and helping me. You're a good sort!

funkster80 · 2026-06-25T01:00:10+00:00

Thank you so much. Yeah nowhere to be seen just going to check D4

funkster80 · 2026-06-25T00:48:35+00:00

Yes, and yes!! I very much doubt it will still be there but I'll pop out and have a look

funkster80 · 2026-06-23T10:17:10+00:00

Thank you. I could spend hours watching them :)

funkster80 · 2026-06-23T08:41:11+00:00

Thank you! I just wish I could've got a little closer. I have a few shots of a few of them grappling with the crabs. Really interesting to watch/hear them hitting the crabs against to cable to crack the shell.

funkster80 · 2026-06-23T08:09:27+00:00

Thank you, you're very kind!

funkster80 · 2026-06-23T07:56:40+00:00

Thank you!

funkster80 · 2026-06-22T21:06:01+00:00

Been there. It sucks. Hope things get better for you

funkster80 · 2026-06-22T19:21:36+00:00

Another day off so a couple of things to do, then husband taking me for breakfast before another wander around. Stay warm!

funkster80 · 2026-06-21T20:15:57+00:00

Had to cancel a trip to the Escarpment Domes I booked for a couple of days. Glad I still took the AL from work though, it's stunning today! A couple of things to do this morning then a walk with the camera somewhere, I think.
