Manhattan, the Little Apple, is home to Kansas State University, one of the country’s leading land-grant universities in agriculture, veterinary medicine and animal health. That expertise has made the city a research hub, anchored by the USDA’s National Bio and Agro-Defense Facility, a major federal laboratory studying foreign animal diseases. Fort Riley, the home of the Army’s 1st Infantry Division, lies just west of town, so military families, researchers, scientists and university partners all pass through regularly.

Manhattan is about two hours from Kansas City International, and the drive across the Flint Hills is scenic but long for a day trip. Manhattan Regional Airport is just southwest of town, so flying private puts you minutes from campus, Fort Riley or a meeting at the research park. Visitors come for Wildcats football and basketball, the bars and restaurants of Aggieville, the Flint Hills Discovery Center, hikes on Konza Prairie and boating on Tuttle Creek Lake, and the Oz Museum in nearby Wamego is a fun detour.

Things to do in Manhattan

When to go. Late spring is a beautiful time to visit Manhattan, when the Flint Hills turn green after the controlled burns of early spring. Fall brings K-State football, game-day tailgates and mild weather for hiking Konza Prairie. Summers are hot and humid, and spring storms can be severe. Winter is cold but quiet, with basketball at Bramlage Coliseum keeping the town busy.
