About the Museum

In 1993, the National Yo-Yo Museum was formed to actively collect and interpret the history of the yo-yo. That year, the Museum hosted the first National Yo-Yo Championship since 1961. The Museum maintains a comprehensive exhibit facility in Chico that attracts visitors from around the country, and around the world. The Museum also administers the National Yo-Yo League that supports regional contests to qualify players to the National Contest.
