About this adventure

Nestled in the rolling hills of Gray Summit in Franklin County, Purina Farms offers an unforgettable family excursion for Thanksgiving season. Families can watch incredible high-flying canine agility and disc dog shows in the Purina Event Center, milk a mechanical cow, visit the barnyard animal petting area, and let kids run free in the multi-story hayloft play tunnel. Family Experience & Accessibility: • Stroller Accessibility: Fully accessible paved walkways connect the Main Barn, Event Center, and parking pavilions; elevators access upper observation levels. • Nursing & Rest Spots: Dedicated family restrooms with diaper-changing stations and private quiet rooms for nursing mothers inside the Visitor Center. • Age Suitability: Highly recommended for toddlers, preschoolers, and elementary school children. • Sensory Tips: The canine show features cheering and music; families can request sensory bags with noise-canceling headphones at the front desk.
