Locked Manhattan

Locked Manhattan is the first escape room adventure in Manhattan, Kansas. We are focused on providing an unforgettable adventure for all players. Our escape rooms are intricately designed through countless hours of research and planning. We are thrilled to be able to present a challenging, fun, and unique form of entertainment to Downtown Manhattan. The idea behind escape room games is that you and your friends are locked in a room which is filled with puzzles that will lead to your hopeful escape. You have one hour to investigate the room, piece together clues, and solve puzzles in order to find your way out. Escape rooms have grown in popularity worldwide and we are proud to bring Locked Manhattan to the downtown area. If you have questions about escape room games or our escape rooms in Manhattan, Kansas please refer to our FAQ page or contact us. Locked Manhattan was created by Rebecca Ober after working in San Francisco and returning to Manhattan with puzzles on their minds.

Flint Hills Discovery Center

The Flint Hills Discovery Center is a dynamic tribute to the last major stand of unbroken tallgrass prairie. This 35,000 square foot must-see attraction includes interactive exhibits highlighting the science, history and culture of the ecoregion from pre-history to present day. An immersive experience theater with panoramic photography and special effects shown on a 120-degree curved screen is the perfect starting point for an exploration of the magnificent Flint Hills of Kansas.

The Discovery Center offers trips to various locations in the area. Today was a gallery tour in Kansas City, MO and an outdoor Discovery center in the same area. The Buttonwood Gallery had artwork for sale supporting the Konza Prairie. The Kemper Museum of Contemporary Art offered a variety of upcoming artists’ work on display and a wonderful lunch venue. Each location had someone to provide an overview of the site. These bus tours are an excellent value and provide new experiences each time. The Flint Hills Discovery Center is a wonderful venue for all ages and interests. Highly recommend a visit and a bus tour when available.

This place is very nice and has genuinely good exhibits. I never really been disappointed by the quality of the work presented. Sometimes there are some really ugly "modern art masterpieces" but those are few and far in between. Not bad considering the near total liberal culture of manhattan.
