Though they’re definitely not as popular with little ones as they were in decades past, yo-yos hold a special place in the hearts of lovers of vintage toys. The National Yo-Yo Museum is located on Broadway Street in downtown Chico. According to locals, it features one of the most impressive collections of historic toys in the region. Guests will learn about the iconic toy’s history, see a dizzying array of examples of all shapes and sizes, and gaze upon a massive 200+ pound specimen that’s one of the world’s largest. The museum hosts an annual yo-yo contest and other fun events throughout the year, and it’s open to the public nearly every day.

An amazing collection that will take you down memory lane! The yo-yo museum is a great place to learn about the history of the yo-yo. Every Saturday the staff holds a yo-yo education class where they will teach you tricks. The museum also has A trophy case that honors some of the best mastery yo-yo competitors. It’s really fun to learn about the advancement of yo-yos overtime. The owner and his staff are very knowledgeable and more than willing to have long conversations about yo-yos with you. The museum is also conveniently located in a pretty amazing toy store. I highly recommend stopping in!

I took my 6 year old for his birthday he wanted a yo-yo so I wanted to do it the right way and Mikey the most amazing person ever was so great with both my boys he made sure it was the right yo-yo for him even cut the string to his size which I had no idea was a thing they even have lessons every Saturday. If I had time I would tell about the rest of the store but this is the best store if you need pretty much anything that was or is a toy for all the older folks i guess kids say I'm older folks now they have the finger string game. Hahaha Thank you Mikey we will be back again soon!
