For those who enjoy art, the Marianna Kistler Beach Museum of Art is the perfect option and, if you are looking for something that is fun for the whole family, tour the Wonder Workshop Children’s Museum or Sunset Zoo. One of the most popular things to do in Manhattan is to enjoy the nature that surrounds the city.
Check out the Konza Prairie Biological Station, an expansive preserve of native tall grass in the Flint Hills. Also, go hiking, canoeing, kayaking, and more at the Tuttle Creek Lake on the Big Blue River or enjoy the views at the Manhattan River Trail.
In the evening, enjoy some of the best fare and entertainment in town in the city’s center and catch a movie at the Town Center 13 movie theater.
