it feels like a fever dream but I remember going with like girls scouts almost 30 years ago and there was just like a garden of rocks, and a pond with rocks in it, and a blacklight room with glow in the dark rocks, please someone tell me they know what I’m talking about.

It's closed down sadly. Won't be long before the builders get a hold of the Property.

That's gotta be it. One of the most bizarre places around, really wish I had my wedding there.

If you wanna check out an amazing rock museum go to sterling hill mine! Then take a tour of the mines and you’ll actually see them glow rainbow when the guide turns on the black lights
Amazing experience and well worth the trip!!! Highly recommend it to everyone

That place is literally in the woods behind my parents house in Monroe.
Here's some pics and story on the place from weird NJ.

Grew up 7 mins from there!! Used to go all the time with my family. Had a whole collection of the colored rocks and shark teeth you could get in the gift shop. What a time to be alive

I took my daughters one summer around 7 years ago. It was only open on weekends at the time (supposedly) and we didn’t realize and went midweek. It was still pretty cool and a little spooky walking around the property, it was mostly outdoors anyway.

I grew up just around the corner and would ride bikes there as a kid to have picnics in the summer. They always let us hang out around the museum/property with the exception of the gift shop. As someone else said, I always wanted to have my wedding there but by that time they were already closed. The Weird NJ link shows the clown and you can often see him thru the woods off Mounts Mills during the fall/winter.

Are you sure it was central? Sounds like Sterling Hill in Sparta.
