XOXO: An Exhibit About Love & Forgiveness XOXO is an exhibit about feelings where you are encouraged to play, act silly, and consider what makes you sad, mad and happy. Created by the Children’s Museum of Pittsburgh, the exhibit integrates technology and interactive play alongside use of facial expressions, words, movement and art to explore what love and forgiveness mean to you and others.

The Kansas Children’s Discovery Center is a hands-on children’s museum where children can explore, create, discover and learn through play. Children with their caregivers can play in 15,000 square feet of indoor education exhibits, including science, careers, building and art, plus a special place for babies and toddlers, and a 4.5 acre certified Nature Explore Outdoor Classroom to inspire a lifelong love of learning for every child.
