Uncle Shuck’s Corn Maze and Pumpkin Patch Review

Let’s get lost in a corn maze! One of the best fall activities is a corn maze, and one of the best corn mazes near Atlanta is Uncle Shuck’s Corn Maze and Pumpkin Patch in Dawsonville, Georgia.

Uncle Shuck’s is a 15-acre corn maze with a pumpkin patch, corn cannons, a haunted trail, a goat tower, and more.

Here’s everything you need to know about visiting Uncle Shuck’s Corn Maze and Pumpkin Patch this year.

Uncle Shuck’s Corn Maze and Pumpkin Patch

I love fall in Atlanta, but you’ve got to get way out of the city to find a corn maze. Uncle Shuck’s Corn Maze is one of the biggest around, and Dawsonville is only about an hour from Atlanta.

The Corn Maze at Uncle Shuck’s

Uncle Shuck’s has a 15-acre Corn Maze, a Kiddy Maze, and a Haunted Trail.

Their main maze is more like a scavenger hunt than a traditional maze, where you find your way to checkpoints to mark off on your map to turn in for a prize. But it’s still easy to become corn-fused and get lost!

Each year, Uncle Shuck’s has a new maze to challenge you. This year’s maze has 6 miles of twisting and turning trails to keep you on your toes.

The maze has a series of checkpoints, and you can work individually or in teams to find all the checkpoints.

Dark Rows Haunted Corn Trail

The Dark Rows Haunted Corn Trail is Uncle Shuck’s haunted corn maze and it’s completely separate from the regular Corn Maze.

Flashlights aren’t allowed in the haunted trail, and you’re guided only by the light of the moon. The ghouls appear at dusk, so get ready! Bonfires and wagon rides are also available at night.

The haunted trail is open on Friday and Saturday nights in October. The regular mazes are not haunted during these haunt nights in October, so you can enjoy them during regular hours without a scare.

Hayrides

Once you’ve made it out of the maze, you can take a hayride.

They didn’t put much hay on the hayride, which was good because you weren’t sitting on a pokey bale of hay, but it also didn’t feel super authentic.

The tractor pulls you along with the cornfield on one side and a stream on the other before going into the cornfield, which then becomes a bumpy ride.

The ride then doubles back past the start point and goes through a grassy field out toward the bonfires before making another loop back to the start. In all, it lasted about 10 minutes.

Uncle Shuck’s Pumpkin Patch

The pumpkin patch at Uncle Shuck’s is a great place to pick a pumpkin! And the good news is, there’s no entry fee to visit the pumpkin patch.

So you can come by and pick out your perfect pumpkin even if you don’t have time to get lost in a maze. Pumpkins are priced by size.

Fall Fun at Uncle Shuck’s

Uncle Shuck’s also has a corn cannon that you shoot out at an old car, a tire mountain for kids to climb, a goat walk where you can buy goat feed to entice the goats up a goat-playground, a jumping pad, and even gem mining.

They also have typical festival-type foods of hot dogs, hamburgers, boiled peanuts, and the like. At night, you can do the mazes, the haunted maze, the hayride, and head out to the bonfires to roast marshmallows.

After a few hours of getting lost in the corn, we were worn out and ready to get back home, but it was well worth it.

Uncle Shuck’s Corn Maze Review

We had a great time at Uncle Shuck’s Corn Maze and Pumpkin Patch!

The maze was huge and had plenty to discover. We certainly got a little lost and a little corn-fused! While the hayride was lacking in hay and a little bumpy, it was still a nice ride through the farm. And we enjoyed all the extra activities they had.

This is easily one of our best yearly traditions!
