$5 corn maze admission per the City of Forsyth 2025 event listing. Pricing for the haunted corn maze, haunted house and zombie paintball is not published; 2026 pricing has not been posted.

Rough cost for a family of four: about $20.00 in admission alone at the posted starting rate, before pumpkins, food, parking or any add-on listed above. Most families end up well north of that once they are through the gate.

Our take

Hamlin Hills is two farms sharing a field. By day it is about as straightforward as a fall farm gets: a corn maze, a kiddie maze for the small ones, tractor-pulled hay rides, and a pumpkin patch you can pick from or buy pre-picked out of. After dark it turns into a haunt — a haunted corn maze, a haunted house and zombie paintball.

Those are not the same audience and they are not the same evening. Bringing a five-year-old to the daytime farm is a good idea. Bringing a five-year-old anywhere near the night operation is not.

The price is the headline

Five dollars. That is the published corn maze admission, from a City of Forsyth listing covering last season, and if it holds it makes this the cheapest gate on our Georgia list by a wide margin — a family of four in for $20 at a farm where metro operations charge that per person.

The caveat is the same one that runs through this whole page: that figure is 2025, and nothing about 2026 pricing has been posted. It is also only the maze. What the haunted maze, the haunted house and zombie paintball cost is published nowhere at all, and haunt pricing is generally a different order of magnitude from a $5 daytime maze. If the evening is your plan, get all three numbers on the phone before you drive out.

The Facebook problem

The farm’s own site does something we can respect and cannot work with: it publishes 10am to 6pm fall hours and then tells you to check Facebook for the opening dates. That is an honest answer from a working farm whose season depends on the crop, and it is useless to anyone planning more than a couple of days ahead.

For Macon-area locals it is fine — watch the page, go when they say. For anyone driving an hour or more, treat a trip here as conditional on a confirmed post.

What middle Georgia actually offers

Monroe County sits around the fall line, and that geography is the reason a pick-your-own pumpkin patch here is a real thing rather than a marketing line. Farms in this part of the state grow their own corn for the maze and can grow their own pumpkins, which is not true everywhere a “pumpkin patch” sign goes up.

The weather is the middle case. October here is milder than the deep south and warmer than the mountains — a 10am to 6pm day is comfortable for most of the season. The evening is a different matter. Once the sun is off the field the temperature drops quickly, and standing in a corn row waiting to be frightened is not the moment to realise the jackets are in the car.

Planning your visit

Best time to go

The farm's own site gives fall hours of 10am to 6pm and then tells visitors to check Facebook for opening dates, which is an honest admission that the calendar is not fixed. A 2025 tourism listing described a Friday-through-Sunday pattern in October. No 2026 dates had been posted anywhere. Practically: the daytime farm and the after-dark haunt are two different visits with two different audiences, and the haunted attractions run after the 6pm close on a schedule the farm has not published at all.

How long to budget

An hour and a half to two and a half hours for the daytime visit — a corn maze, a kiddie maze, a hayride and picking a pumpkin. The haunted side is a separate evening and should be planned as one.

Crowds

Not documented. A cheap farm in a region with fewer alternatives than metro Atlanta will draw well on October weekends, and if the Friday-to-Sunday pattern holds there are only three days a week absorbing it.

Parking

Not published. Assume a field. Middle Georgia gets substantial autumn rain and a wet field stays soft, so pick footwear accordingly.

What to bring

  • Cash, since nothing published tells you what the farm takes and $5 admissions tend to be cash operations
  • Closed-toe shoes for the maze and the pumpkin field
  • A jacket if you are staying for anything after dark — the haunted attractions run into the cold part of a Georgia October evening
  • A flashlight for the night maze

How to spend less here

  • The $5 maze price, if it holds, means a family of four gets in for $20 — less than a single adult ticket at most Atlanta-area farms. Budget the savings toward the pumpkins instead
  • Pricing for the haunted maze, haunted house and zombie paintball is not published anywhere. Ask for all three prices before you commit to the evening, because a haunt-plus-paintball night will cost several times the daytime gate
  • Pre-picked pumpkins exist alongside the u-pick field, which is worth knowing if walking the rows with a toddler is not appealing

Who it suits

Good for

  • Budget-conscious families. A $5 corn maze is the cheapest gate we have found at any Georgia farm on this list, by a wide margin
  • Anyone who wants genuine pick-your-own; the farm advertises both a PYO patch and pre-picked pumpkins, so you can do it either way
  • Teenagers and adults for the haunted maze, haunted house and zombie paintball, which are an entirely separate product from the family daytime offering
  • Middle Georgia visitors around Macon who do not want to drive to the metro for a fall farm

Skip it if

You need to know before you leave the house that the farm is open. Nothing published anywhere gives 2026 dates, and the farm itself routes that question to a Facebook page. That is fine for locals and a poor bet for a long drive.
