Where is Manhattan, Kansas?

Manhattan, or the Little Apple as we affectionately call it, is about 135 miles west of Kansas City International (KCI) Airport. It has a small airport, and US Air Express flights operate between KCI and Manhattan. Rental cars are also available at KCI. If you are driving from KCI, take 29 South to I-70 West and exit on K-177 to Manhattan. Plan on a driving time of 2.5 hours from KCI. If you do not wish to drive,
there is shuttle service to and from KCI (www.kciroadrunner.com). Please check the website for shuttle timings or contact KCI Roadrunner at 1-800-747-2524 (1-800-747-2KCI). Workshop participants are advised to make a reservation with the shuttle service well in advance.
