The most professionally run patch on our Georgia list and priced accordingly at $13.95 to $21.95 a head — but admission is not required to buy pumpkins, which makes it two completely different outings at two completely different price points.
Weekday general admission $13.95; weekend $18.95; extended weekend $21.95; add the Mega Slide for $10 more. All plus tax and fees. Admission is NOT required to visit the pumpkin patch alone; pumpkins and cut flowers are priced separately. Paintball and gem mining are extra-cost add-ons.
Rough cost for a family of four: about $55.80 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.
Washington Farms is the most polished operation we have looked at in Georgia, and the pricing page is the proof: three admission tiers, a published add-on rate, tax and fees called out separately, and a season schedule mapped date by date from Sept 19 to Nov 8. That is a real business, not a side hustle on a working farm, and it sets expectations correctly — you are buying a day at a well-equipped agritourism park a few minutes outside Athens.
Weekday admission is $13.95. Weekend is $18.95. Extended weekend — Oct 11, 18 and 25, the Sundays that open at 10am instead of 1pm — is $21.95. All before tax and fees. For a family of four, the gap between the cheapest and dearest tier is $32 for identical attractions.
Most people will not notice this until checkout, because the three tiers are not obvious from a homepage glance. If your schedule has any give in it at all, a weekday morning is the same farm for roughly two-thirds the price. The catch is that weekday hours are 9:30am to 1:30pm only, a four-hour window, so you are trading money for time.
Admission is not required to visit the pumpkin patch. Pumpkins and cut flowers are priced separately, which means a family that genuinely only wants a pumpkin and a photo in the zinnias can drive out, buy what they came for, and leave without paying a $75 gate charge for attractions they were never going to use.
That single fact reframes this farm. It is expensive if you want the zip lines, ropes course, pig races and jumping pillows — and it is one of the cheapest options in the Athens area if you do not. Decide which visit you are making before you get in the car, because the two have almost nothing in common.
The Mega Slide is $10 per person on top of any admission tier. Paintball and gem mining are separate purchases as well. A family of four on an extended Sunday, all four on the Mega Slide, is $127.80 before tax, fees, food or a single pumpkin. That is not a criticism of the farm, which publishes every one of those numbers plainly; it is a warning about how quickly the arithmetic moves once you are inside and the kids can see the slide.
This is Piedmont Georgia, so the weather works in your favour from about the first week of October onward — cool mornings, comfortable afternoons, and a sunflower and zinnia field that photographs well. Two local factors are worth planning around. Friday night mazes running to 10pm in late October are cold, colder than parents dressed for a 4pm arrival tend to expect, and it is a long walk back to the car with an underdressed child. And Athens is a football town: on a home Saturday, every road in Oconee and Clarke counties behaves differently. Check the schedule, then pick your Saturday.
The season runs Sept 19 to Nov 8, 2026. Weekdays from Sept 22 to Oct 30 are 9:30am-1:30pm and cost $13.95 — a third less than a weekend and a fraction of the crowd. Saturdays are 10am-8pm, Sundays 1pm-6pm, with extended Sundays on Oct 11, 18 and 25 opening at 10am at the higher $21.95 rate. October Friday evenings are the night-maze slot: Oct 2 and 30 run 4pm-8pm, Oct 9, 16 and 23 run 4pm-10pm. Athens is a college town, so check whether the Saturday you are eyeing is a home football Saturday before you commit to it — traffic across Oconee County changes completely on those days.
Four hours to justify a weekend ticket. A weekday $13.95 visit is a tighter proposition anyway — the window is only four hours long.
Seven weeks and a wide operating schedule spread demand better than most Georgia patches manage, but the extended Sundays (Oct 11, 18, 25) and the late Fridays are priced as peak for a reason. Weekday mornings are the quiet option.
Not documented. Hog Mountain Road is a busy suburban-fringe corridor between Athens and Watkinsville and the farm is a large operation, so expect an organised field lot and expect the entry queue rather than the lot itself to be the bottleneck on a peak Sunday.
Nothing published. The terrain is farm ground and the flagship attractions — zip lines, a ropes course, jumping pillows, the Mega Slide — are physical by design. If part of your group cannot use those, the value equation shifts sharply toward the free pumpkin-patch-only visit.
You have a toddler and a tight budget. At $18.95 to $21.95 on a weekend, plus $10 more for the Mega Slide, a family of four can clear $100 before add-ons at a farm whose best attractions have height and nerve requirements a three-year-old will not meet. Go on a weekday, or just buy pumpkins and skip admission.
Weekday general admission is $13.95, weekend $18.95, and extended weekend dates $21.95, all plus tax and fees. The Mega Slide is $10 more per person. Paintball and gem mining are separate.
No. The farm states that admission is not required to visit the pumpkin patch. Pumpkins and cut flowers are priced separately, which makes a pumpkins-only trip effectively free entry.
Friday evenings in October. Oct 2 and Oct 30 run 4pm-8pm; Oct 9, 16 and 23 run 4pm-10pm.
