2012 Visitors Guide is here! The 2012 Manhattan Visitors Guide is now available! Sporting a new look, the 2012 edition features Manhattan’s newest attraction, The Flint Hills Discovery Center, on the cover. The Guide has returned to a magazine size format. Visitors will discover helpful information as they flip through the pages filled with information of our attractions, dining, shopping and overnight accommodations.

Strategically placed along I-70, in Cities of the Big XII, at area hotels and attractions, the guide is an important tool for visitors to enjoy as they “Discover” Manhattan!
