The biggest fall operation in southeast Georgia — a 10-acre maze, a haunted woodland trail and fifteen listed attractions — but no 2026 dates or prices have been published, and the last known daytime rate of $21.09 plus tax makes it the priciest day on our Georgia list.
Last published rates: Saturday/Sunday daytime $21.09 for ages 4 and up; Friday/Saturday night $12.15. An 8% tax is added to each ticket. Haunted Trail tickets are sold at the gate only, never online. Pony rides (about $5), gemstone mining, catch-and-release fishing, the VR experience and animal food are all extra. All sales final, no refunds.
Rough cost for a family of four: about $48.60 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.
Poppell Farms is the largest fall operation in this corner of Georgia and it prices like it. Fifteen listed attractions, a 10-acre sorghum and corn maze, a flashlight maze, and a Haunted Trail cut through actual woods — that last one is the differentiator, because most farms in this price bracket offer a dark corn maze and call it haunted.
There is no 2026 schedule. The farm’s homepage was still serving a 2022 calendar when we read it in late August 2026, and its fall-activities page carries the attraction list and the add-on costs but no dates and no prices. The most recent documented season ran Oct 4 to Nov 2, Friday and Saturday nights 5pm-9pm, Saturdays 10am-9pm and Sundays 12pm-5pm. Everything on this page rests on that pattern rather than on a 2026 announcement.
At the last published rates, a Saturday or Sunday daytime ticket was $21.09 for ages 4 and up, and a Friday or Saturday night ticket was $12.15. That is close to a two-to-one gap for the same farm, and it changes what kind of outing you are buying. Night is the maze, the flashlight session and the Haunted Trail — a teen-and-adult evening. Day is the petting zoo, playground, jumping pillow, pumpkin bowling and Barnyard Baseball — a young-family afternoon.
The trick worth knowing is that a Saturday daytime ticket stays valid through 9pm. Buy the day ticket, go home for a nap if you need to, come back for the evening, and you have paid once for both halves. That is the only way the $21.09 figure looks like good value rather than steep.
Pony rides run about $5. Gemstone mining, catch-and-release fishing, the VR experience and animal food are all separate purchases. An 8% tax goes on every ticket. And all sales are final — no refunds — which is worth thinking about at an outdoor venue in southeast Georgia, where an October weekend can be washed out by a system coming off the coast.
Do the arithmetic before you leave. Four daytime tickets at $21.09 plus 8% is $91.11. Add pony rides and a round of gem mining and you are past $130 without eating. That is not unreasonable for a full day at a large, well-stocked farm, but it is a real day out rather than a stop on the way somewhere.
The Haunted Trail is gate-sale only and does not run on Sunday nights. If it is the reason you are going, that narrows you to Fridays and Saturdays, and it means arriving with the intention to queue. Bring layers — the late-October evenings here get genuinely cold once the sun is down, and a wooded trail after dark is colder still.
The farm had not posted a 2026 schedule when we last checked; its own homepage was still serving a 2022 calendar. Its recent pattern has been early October to the first weekend of November, and the last documented window was Oct 4 to Nov 2. The night sessions are the value play: Friday and Saturday 5pm-9pm was $12.15 against $21.09 for a Saturday or Sunday daytime ticket. A Saturday daytime ticket stays valid through 9pm, so the single best-value slot is a Saturday morning arrival that carries you straight into the evening. Note there is no Haunted Trail on Sunday nights.
Most of a day if you take a Saturday ticket and use the fact that it runs through 9pm. Half a day is the minimum that makes the daytime price defensible.
A roughly five-weekend season with the only haunted attraction for a wide radius. Saturday nights will be the peak, and the Haunted Trail queue is where the wait accumulates.
Not documented. Hyma Poppell Loop is a rural road well off the main highways and this is a large-volume operation, so expect a field lot and expect the entry road to be the slow part on a Saturday evening.
You want a quick pumpkin stop. At last published rates a family of four in the daytime was over $84 plus 8% tax before a single add-on, and this farm's model is built on a long stay. Also skip it if you need refunds or flexibility — all sales are final, and Haunted Trail tickets are sold at the gate only, never online.
Neither has been published. The farm's homepage was still showing a 2022 schedule when we checked in late August 2026. The most recent documented season ran Oct 4 to Nov 2, at $21.09 for Saturday and Sunday daytime and $12.15 for Friday and Saturday nights, plus 8% tax. Treat those as guidance and call 912-586-2215 to confirm.
