National Yo-Yo Museum
Housed within Bird in Hand (worth a visit in its own right) is the National Yo-Yo Museum, created and maintained by store owners, Barbara & Bob Malowney. Inside (it's at the back of the store), you'll find the 80 year history of the yo-yo as a toy and as a sport, the Duncan Family collection, and the world's largest working yo-yo, weighing in at 256 pounds.
Every Saturday, the Chico Yo-Yo Club meets in Diamond Alley (behind the store) to practice, teach, and assist all levels of yo-yo-ers, and once a year the club sponsors the National Yo-Yo Contest.
A lot of fun for "kids" of all ages! And the museum is free!
