Excellent venue for dog shows! Staff is very friendly and professional. The building is clean and has everything you need including a cafe, vending machines, and beautiful landscaping outside for taking pictures.

Purina Farms is a phenomenal choice for any club to host their shows at! From grooming to RV spaces there isn’t an amenity that hasn’t been thought of!

Very nice event center and thoroughly lovely compound. One of the only venues that offer a dog wash area for dog show exhibitors that I've been to.

Each time I visit St. Louis I check in advance if they have some shows or competitions. I really like to go there and I recommend anyone who stop nearby to see the visit center and the area of Purina Farms

Took my dog to the Purina Dog Day Out event. I was bored after 20 minutes. The agility course was pathetic. The jumps were on the ground and there was only one A frame and a tunnel. Took 5 seconds to run. The lure contraptions kept breaking. And the lure was too small for most dogs to see. It was NOT fun at all. Do not recommend. Photo op with my dog was good. Then I left.

Wonderful venue for dog events. Easy access and lots of walking areas too. Only have a spotlight image on the phone but the lighting is good in the building.

Purina Farms is beautiful . They could have a better televised system between the hall and grooming areas during dog events, so handlers could keep track of the classes while they're grooming.

Beautiful spacious dog show venue for all dog sports. Staff on site are welcoming and friendly; they keep the buildings ang grounds immaculate. Camping is convenient, local RV dealers will rent a unit and set it up on site.

I've been out here for several events each year for the last few years and the most impressive thing is how professional and courteous the security people are. I know I'm safe when I'm there and have been pleased with them and Purina staff. Katie, rolly, and Jake from the security team are amazing. Thanks for hosting such great events

Cafe food needs a little work on quality and more clarity on prices. Board says one thing, but charged something different. Event center itself was very nice though.

The absolute best place for dog shows.

Wonderful, clean experience. Best dog people in the world work here! They catered to our every need from RV hookup issues to dog bathing needs before the show. This is the best locale we have ever traveled to on the circuit. I wish all dog shows were this centrally located for travelers. Even the cafeteria had wonderful burgers and salad! We are bringing our grandchildren next year since they have a neat visitors center and small petting zoo for families.

I come with my friend and her dog to practice and for shows. People are always super friendly and very helpful! Purina is very clean. The other parts of the farm and the events throughout the year make it a fun visit for people of all ages!

The center was nice. However, the event being held, was not so great. The event staff made us feel very welcome, but when we tried asking questions of any people involved with the Poodle Nationals....RUDE !!!!! Daughter was so excited to go and was ready to leave within 1.5 hours after we got there.

Facility is lovely, just don't waste money on the food, just go back to the nearest city of pacific, you'll get better food for less money at McDonald'sToday $8 for a few fries and a soda. Not to mention bacon cheeseburger for $6.5.

OMG, did Purina ever do this right? First off the Purina Farms facility is outstanding for Dog Sports. It is immaculate the staff is hands down some of the best folks I've run into in the dog world. The Great Hall, it was kept immaculately clean. There was always staff around if you had a problem or a question. It was done right. I would love to come back again for another dog show. We did have a tornado warning and they open the buildings for us, as I was in an RV and it was about 9 at night. The staff stayed with us kept us updated on the weather reports and again were just great. Thank you Purina for doing a good job in building this dog facility
