Things to Do When You Visit Manhattan, Kansas, Manhattan, Kansas

We used to live in Manhattan, Kansas, and now we often visit Malik at Kansas State University. Although “The Little Apple” is very familiar to us, we always try to find something new to do together when we visit. My son, Malik, is a senior accounting major at Kansas State University, and every trip to see him is an adventure. From exploring his campus to diving into the local charm of this vibrant college town, I’ve come to love our visits. Here’s how I spent my latest weekend with Malik and why I think Manhattan is a must-visit for any parent.

We even caught a football game at Bill Snyder Family Stadium, and let me tell you, the energy was electric! The games can be pretty expensive, at $160, but it’s fun to experience at least once.
