Visited Zamm again since I feel my energies are so dispersed lately and can't quite find my center. I was pleasantly surprised at how in depth and how enlightening she is. Zamm took the time to carefully explain every facet and minute detail of my reading. I thought maybe 15 mins was all-turned out to be an hour's worth of genuine sincerity and empathy, and a lot of enlightenment and encouragement. she definitely helped lift a huge load of my shoulders and helped me find my center and refocus. Thank you Zamm for treating me like an old friend!

What an amazing place to see! The tour gives an up close look at some of the fantastic creations and special effects created by Peter Jackson's talented crew for "Lord of the Rings," "King Kong," "District 9," etc. In one section, you are actually permitted to touch bits of costumes - to see how heavy (or light) head pieces are, or what the chainmail feels like. On weekdays, you can watch the craftspeople working. You can only take photographs outside and in one room toward the end of the tour, but those places will give you opportunities for some really fun pictures. And if you're looking for some seriously impressive gifts for the movie fan in your life, their gift shop probably has your answer.
