Garden State Rocks 705 Ginesi Drive, Marlboro, NJ 07751

"Updating this from 3 to 5 stars due to changes. The gym still has room for improvement, but it’s becoming a fantastic gym! Things they do great: - Strong community, friendly & involved staff - Interesting, varied setting. This has dramatically improved in the last 6 months - Some pretty interesting wall features - Bouldering walls are (mostly) not scarily tall - Nice fluffy pad on the steep wall Concerns: - Some of the pads are in desperate need of replacement. They’re making progress on this front! - TRing walls are short and not a priority. But, if you’re a casual climber they’re fine and you’ll be happy to not be 60’ in the air - Some weird rules around TRing & leading. But you’ll probably be bouldering anyways"

"By far the best rock climbing gym around. The staff is super welcoming and helpful, especially for new climbers. The owner Josh is amazing and the gym always has new climbs. I've been climbing here for 3 years and haven't found any other gym like it. Highly recommend."

"Amazing place for getting your climb on. Your arms will burn it is a really great workout for your hands and forearms. There are all different types of walls with hand and foot placements in various difficulties from novice to expert. Bring your friends challenge each other see who is the better climber and brag about it afterwards. The instructor Ben was great very patient with my 6 year old and was very nice and explained things out well. Would definitely recommend this place. Overall great place to go if weather is bad and you wanna push yourself to new heights."

"The worst climbing center. It's extremely small, old, and the walls are not high. Overpriced. We paid $50 for one hour, not worth it. Very bad experience."
