One ticket covers 25 daytime activities or 30 after dark on Friday and Saturday nights, which is the best structure a farm can offer a big family — the catch is that the farm has not published what that ticket costs.
One admission covers all attractions - 25 daytime activities and 30 nighttime activities on Fridays and Saturdays. Parking is free, children under 36 months free, seniors over 60 get $2 off, groups over 20 get $2 off. The base ticket price is not published.
The all-inclusive ticket is the thing to understand here. Most farms charge a modest gate price and then bleed you for gem mining, pony rides and a corn cannon at five dollars a shot; Copper Creek folds everything into one admission — 25 activities during the day, 30 on Friday and Saturday nights. If you have three children who each want to do everything, that structure is worth real money, and it removes the running negotiation that makes pay-per-activity farms exhausting.
The obvious problem is that we cannot tell you what the ticket costs. The farm’s own tickets page and events calendar both came up empty on 2026 pricing, and the tourism listings that supplied the dates and the activity counts did not name a figure either. What is published is the discount structure: free for children under 36 months, $2 off for anyone over 60, $2 off per head for groups over 20, and free parking. That is enough to sanity-check a quote at the gate but not enough to budget from in advance.
Fireworks at dusk, a bonfire with marshmallows, a haunted corn maze and five extra activities — the Friday and Saturday night programme is clearly where this farm puts its effort. If you are paying the same admission either way, the mid-week daytime visit is straightforwardly worse value. The counter-argument is crowds and small children: a nervous six-year-old and a haunted maze is not a combination anyone enjoys, and Wednesday and Thursday afternoons exist for exactly that family.
If you do go at night, take the cold seriously. This is Gordon County in October, not the Gulf coast — the temperature drops hard once the sun goes and a farm at dusk in a t-shirt is a miserable place to be waiting for fireworks. Layers, and something for the walk back across the field to the car.
Sunday, Monday and Tuesday are out. That is an unusual pattern — most fall farms build their whole season around Sunday — and it is the detail most likely to send someone on a wasted drive. The season itself is short, September 19 to October 31, so between the closed days and the six-week window there are roughly 24 operating days in the entire year. Plan against that, not against a general sense that October is pumpkin season.
You may find a Yelp page marking this farm as closed. As of late August 2026 the county tourism office was promoting 2026 dates for it, so the more likely explanation is a stale listing rather than a shut business. That said, given that the farm publishes no price and its own calendar was empty, the phone call is doing a lot of work in this recommendation. Make it before you drive.
A Wednesday or Thursday in late September if you have young children and want the place to yourself, or a Friday or Saturday night in October if you want the version of this farm that is actually worth the drive. The 2026 season runs September 19 to October 31 per Gordon County tourism, with Wednesday and Thursday running daytime activities only and Friday and Saturday adding the night programme — haunted maze, bonfire, fireworks at dusk. Note that the farm is closed Sunday, Monday and Tuesday, which trips up more people than anything else about this place.
Four hours minimum on a Friday or Saturday if you want the fireworks, which happen at dusk and therefore anchor your whole evening. Three hours is enough for a Wednesday or Thursday daytime visit.
Friday and Saturday nights in October are the busy end, and they are also the only nights the full 30-activity programme runs, so the crowd and the good version of the farm arrive together. Wednesday and Thursday daytime is the quiet trade-off.
Free, which the tourism listings state explicitly — worth noting because it is not universal. Assume a field surface rather than pavement, so flat closed shoes and an eye on the forecast.
Nothing published. With a corn maze, a hay bale maze, a bonfire and gem mining spread across a working farm, assume uneven ground throughout and call ahead if that matters.
You want a quiet mid-week or Sunday visit — the farm is closed Sunday through Tuesday. Also skip it if you are travelling with a nervous child on a Friday or Saturday night, because the haunted maze and the after-dark atmosphere are part of the package rather than a separate ticketed corner.
The farm does not publish it. Neither its tickets page nor its events calendar showed a 2026 price when we checked, and the county tourism listings describe the all-inclusive structure without naming a figure. You will need to call 706-280-5592.
A Yelp page flags this business as closed. Treat that as stale — the Gordon County tourism office was actively promoting 2026 dates of September 19 to October 31 when we checked in August 2026.
Yes. The farm's own site states a waiver is mandatory. Handle it before you are standing at the gate with impatient children.
