Missouri History Museum<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

2026 marks the 1st year since the inception of the UYYC Contest that the event will take place on National YoYo Day! We are extremely excited to host and represent the history and sport of yoyo in 2026 at the Missouri History Museum. The Missouri History Museum is located in beautiful Forest Park<\/a>, on the site of the main entrance to the 1904 World\u2019s Fair. The galleries of the museum are free and include the 1904 Worlds Fair exhibits!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

PARKING<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Missouri History Museum has two free parking lots located on the East and West sides of the building. One can also find plenty of free parking in the connecting side streets. Each lot at the museum has eight accessible parking spaces. If these spots are all in use, the next closest accessible parking spaces are located in the Forest Park Visitors\u2019 Center parking lot.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n
