A working Polk County farm with a real 5-acre corn maze and a wheelchair-accessible hayride, but it has published no 2026 season dates and no prices at all — call before you drive.
No admission pricing is published on the farm's own website.
Carlton Farms is a real farm with a farm store attached, and the seasonal attractions sit on top of that rather than being the whole business. That is generally a good sign — north Georgia farms above the fall line grow their own pumpkins and cut their own mazes, so what you are visiting here is an actual crop, not a display.
The problem is information. The farm’s own website gives an address, a phone number and store hours, and stops there. No 2026 season dates. No maze hours. No admission price of any kind. A third-party listing supplies the five-acre maze with about two miles of trails, the pumpkin patch and an accessible hayride, but it carries no update date, so we cannot tell you which year it describes.
That leaves one honest recommendation: call 770-655-1503 before you commit a Saturday. The store hours on the website will tempt you into treating them as visiting hours, and they are not the same thing — a store that opens at 10am on a Tuesday in July tells you nothing about whether the maze is cut in October.
Two things are worth the call beyond the dates. The first is the accessible hayride, which is uncommon and genuinely useful if someone in your group uses a wheelchair. The second is the price, because a five-acre maze with two miles of trail is a substantial attraction and could reasonably be ticketed anywhere from a few dollars to twenty a head. Going in blind on an all-day family outing is how budgets get away from people.
If you do go, treat the maze as the main event and allow an hour for it. Two miles through standing corn is a real walk, and it is more of a walk than most children under about six will enjoy.
Unknown, and that is the honest answer. The farm's own website publishes the on-farm store hours (Monday to Saturday, 10am to 6pm) but no seasonal dates, no maze hours and no admission prices for 2026. Corn mazes in this part of Georgia typically run from late September through the end of October, but we have no confirmation that this one follows that pattern. Phone ahead rather than planning around store hours.
A listing describes the hayride as handicap accessible. That is the only accessibility detail published anywhere we could read, and it is worth confirming directly — the maze itself is a two-mile dirt trail through corn, which is a different proposition.
You need certainty. With no published dates, hours or prices, this is not a farm you can plan a Saturday around from a distance.
2026 dates had not been published when we last checked. In past seasons it has run: On-farm store Monday through Saturday; seasonal maze days not published. Check with the farm before driving out.
Admission pricing was not published when we last checked. No admission pricing is published on the farm's own website.
1276 Cartersville Hwy, Rockmart, GA 30153, in Polk County. It is one of 14 patches we track in North Georgia.
We track 14 patches in North Georgia, 6 of which are free to walk into. The farm has not published a gate price, so it cannot be compared on cost — call before you budget.
One caveat worth repeating: this farm had not published its 2026 dates when we last checked, while 6 of the 14 patches we track in North Georgia had. Treat any date you see elsewhere as last year's until the farm confirms it.
