The USA Today contest praises the Children’s Museum of Pittsburgh for its "numerous hands-on, interactive exhibit areas meant to spark curiosity. The Garage is the place to explore things that bounce, race, and roll, while the Art Studio allows kids to express their creativity through various art forms. And the Kindness Gallery lets kids try different forms of communication to send messages of empathy and kindness."
Three other Pennsylvania children's museums − the Franklin Institute in Philadelphia, Please Touch Museum in Philadelphia and Children of Gettysburg 1863 – also are among the 20 nominees.
