Uncle Shuck's Corn Maze and Pumpkin Patch

📍 125 Bannister Rd, Dawsonville, GA 30534🗓 September 19 – November 8, 2026🏷 From $18/person

The most transparently priced farm on our north Georgia list — $18 for the maze, $24 for the haunted trail, $29 for both, tax included — and a genuine seven-week season, but $18 a head is steep unless you use the whole evening.

Corn maze $18, haunted trail $24, combo $29; children 4 and under free. Pricing includes tax; a 3.5% card fee applies. Secondary guides report the pumpkin patch itself is free to walk.

Rough cost for a family of four: about $72.00 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

Uncle Shuck’s publishes everything, which after a run of north Georgia farms that publish nothing is worth noting on its own. The 2026 season is September 19 to November 8. September and November are Friday to Sunday; October is daily. Hours are spelled out month by month. The maze is $18, the haunted trail $24, the combo $29, tax included, under-5s free. There is no guesswork required to budget this trip, and that alone puts it ahead of half its competition.

What it costs is real money. Two adults and two school-age children at $18 each is $72 for a corn maze, plus $2.52 if you pay by card. Whether that is good value depends entirely on whether you treat it as an evening or a stop. Included in the ticket: a 15-acre maze, a kiddie maze, three corn cannon shots, unlimited wagon rides, a bonfire with marshmallows after dark, a jumpy pad, tire mountain and animals. The wagon rides being unlimited and the cannon shots being included are genuinely unusual — most farms in this region charge separately for both, and those two lines are where the $18 starts earning its keep. Arrive at 4pm, stay until the bonfire, and the price makes sense. Arrive at 5pm on a Sunday when the farm closes at 6pm and it does not.

The card fee is the easy win

A 3.5 percent surcharge on card payments is small in isolation and irritating in aggregate. On a $72 family ticket it is $2.52; on a $116 combo it is $4.06. Bringing cash removes it entirely, and it is the kind of thing nobody thinks about until they are at the window.

The haunted trail is a ten-night product

October Fridays and Saturdays only — the 2nd and 3rd, 9th and 10th, 16th and 17th, 23rd and 24th, 30th and 31st. That is the whole run. If the haunted trail is why you are going, those are your dates and there is no flexibility in them. It also means the combo ticket is worthless on any other day, so do not buy it out of habit.

Dress for a north Georgia night

The October Friday and Saturday hours run to 10pm, and the bonfire is explicitly an after-dark attraction. Dawson County at 9pm in late October is cold in a way that surprises people who have driven up from Atlanta in the afternoon warmth. Coats, not hoodies, and a torch for the walk back across the field.

One last thing worth understanding about where you are. This is real corn-maze country: the 15 acres were planted and cut here, and the pumpkins are a local crop rather than trucked-in stock. The trade-off is the traffic — the last two weekends of October put leaf-season visitors and farm visitors on the same Dawson County roads at the same time. Going on a Wednesday costs you the bonfire but saves you the queue.

Planning your visit

Best time to go

A Sunday to Thursday in October, when the farm runs 10am to 6pm and the crowd is at its lightest. If you want the full experience, a Friday or Saturday in October runs to 10pm and is when the bonfire and the haunted trail actually happen. The season is September 19 to November 8, 2026, with September and November restricted to Friday through Sunday and October open daily.

How long to budget

Three to four hours, and more if you are doing the haunted trail as well. At $18 a person, a 90-minute visit is poor value — the unlimited wagon rides and the after-dark bonfire are what justify the ticket.

Crowds

October Friday and Saturday nights are the peak, and they are also the only nights the haunted trail runs, so the crowd and the main event coincide. Sunday to Thursday in October is the quiet window and the same $18 buys a far less congested farm.

Parking

Not published. Assume a field surface at a farm with a 15-acre maze, which means mud after rain and flat closed shoes.

Strollers and accessibility

Nothing published. A 15-acre corn maze, a tire mountain and a jumpy pad are all uneven-ground attractions; call 770-772-6223 if this is a factor.

What to bring

  • Cash. Prices include tax, but a 3.5 percent card fee applies — on a family of four at $18 each that is $2.52 you can simply decline to pay
  • A torch and a serious layer for any evening visit. The farm runs to 10pm on October Fridays and Saturdays, and north Georgia in late October is properly cold after dark
  • Closed shoes for the maze

How to spend less here

  • Pay cash and avoid the 3.5 percent card fee
  • Children 4 and under are free, so a family with a preschooler pays for fewer heads than it looks
  • Think hard about the combo. The maze is $18 and the haunted trail $24; together they are $29, so the combo only makes sense if you were genuinely going to do both. If you were not, you are paying $11 extra for something you will skip
  • Corn cannon shots and unlimited wagon rides are included in the ticket, which is unusual — most farms charge separately for both. Use them

Who it suits

Good for

  • Families with children over about six, who can handle a 15-acre maze and will use the corn cannon, tire mountain and jumpy pad
  • Teenagers and adults, who are the audience for the haunted trail on its ten October dates
  • Anyone with a child under 5, who gets in free — that changes the maths considerably
  • Evening visitors, since the Friday and Saturday 10pm closes make this one of the few farms in the area built around a night out

Skip it if

You mainly want a pumpkin. Secondary guides report the pumpkin patch itself is free to walk, so if the pumpkin is the whole mission you may not need a ticket at all — but confirm that at the gate, because the farm's own pricing page does not spell it out. Also skip a midweek trip in September or November, when the farm is Friday to Sunday only.
