House from A Christmas Story

"If you've ever seen the movie, you need to see this place. The attention to detail is second to none. Parking - There is a parking lot adjacent to the house. However, there are very limited parking spaces. There is plenty free street parking throughout the neighborhood though. Tour - You start in the gift shop by purchasing your timed tickets to walk through the house. I think it was $18/adult. Once inside, the guide explains the history of how the movie came about and where each scene was shot from. You have about ~30min to explore and take pictures. You then go to the back yard to re-live the famous scene where Ralphie shoots his eye out. Museum - The house across the street was turned into a museum that has all the movie props. The guide was very informative and explained everything in there. You can take photos - just no flash photography. Store - They have everything Christmas Story there. If you have a miniature Christmas village at home, they will have everything you can't find online. It was a great way to close-off the Christmas season by re-living the Christmas story. We will be back again next year!!"

"I recently had the opportunity to visit the Christmas Story House in Cleveland, Ohio, and it was a dream come true. This had been on my bucket list for the past seven years, so it felt incredibly fulfilling to finally experience it. The tour allowed me to explore at my own pace, and it was a delightful journey through the scenes from the beloved movie. Our tour guide not only provided insightful information but also took some amazing pictures of me. I was truly impressed by her photography skills and would highly recommend her pursuing a career in that field. As I am currently on a mission to visit all 50 states before turning 50, this visit marked my 29th state. It was a special milestone on my journey, and I couldn't be happier with the memorable experience."

"If you love the movie “The Christmas Story” , this is the place for you! This is the actual house from the Christmas Story where some of the movie was filmed. Located in beautiful Cleveland Ohio, it is a fun place to visit. Go visit the Christmas story shop first to purchase your guided visit/ tour of the house & museum. Tickets for adults were $18 per adult. While you’re waiting for your tour, enjoy the store & I know you will pick up a few trinkets & gifts from your visit. The guided tour is very cool, you are treated to interesting facts & trivia from the filming & history of the house. You are then given time to explore the house & take all the pictures you want. You then are taken to the backyard, again given facts about the filming & history of the yard. You then move across the street to the museum, it has props and artifacts form the movie, the guide will explain the what, when and how about them. You are given ample time to explore and take pictures. This Is absolutely a fun place to visit around the holidays. I strongly recommend that you put this on n your to do list."

"This was a wonderful time! The tour guides are very knowledgeable and love the movie. I would definitely recommend buying tickets for the tour so that you get the full experience. I wasn’t able to book a tour online ahead of time, so definitely go early and buy tickets for the tour. We ended up going to the last “tour,” which was self-guided and the tour guides were available for questions, and everyone was able to go through the house and the museum. However, we really wish we had gone on the tour with the tour guides. However, that was earlier in the day and we ended up going to the rock ‘n’ roll Hall of Fame instead and then circling back later in the day to A Christmas Story House. Overall, this was an amazing time. The gift shop is definitely very expensive, so I only got the leg lamp Christmas ornament. But, it was really amazing and now I can’t wait for Christmas this year!"
