House from A Christmas Story

It was a Christmas tradition for our family to watch Christmas movies every holiday. So naturally, we all went to Cleveland when we found out that the Christmas Story house was a museum. It was worth every penny! It conjured up so many fond memories. Our tour guide, Chuck, made it all that much more enjoyable! He was funny, kind and he knew every tidbits about the movie! The trip was one of the best trips we’ve ever had. So if you love A Christmas Story and were deciding where to go for a trip, definitely go here! You won’t be disappointed. BTW, ask for Chuck!

Bring your kids or bring yourself if you love the movie! It's the real house where the movie was filmed. You need to buy your ticket ($20 per person) across the street on the gift shop. There are guided tours every half hour. They will tell you how the house was rented for the movie and many other interesting facts. The tour last about 40 minutes. You are free to see all the rooms in the house and includes a visit to the museum across the street where you can see photos of the making and a lot of items like clothes that were wearing during the film, etc.

For me, this was a dream come true I’ve been wanting to come here for years! Our tour guide was awesome and with plenty of time to take photos and there was a lot of Back history that he told us about… parking was somewhat tricky~ The museum was phenomenal. (I could’ve used more time there. ) Of course the gift shop was fully stocked, and I got all kinds of things as gifts for others. This is well worth the trip and next time I’d even stay at the B&B available upstairs. Thank you for the great tour and a terrific day!

We had out of town guests and visited on a whim on a Monday afternoon. We paid $20 for the guided tour. It took about 45 minutes. We went through the house with a group of about 20 people and also saw the museum across the street. We learned some interesting things and, of course, the tour ended at the gift shop. Overall it was good, but I wouldn't do it again.

This is an awesome place to visit! So many childhood memories brought back! We got to go through the house on our own after listening to a fun and informative tour guide offer lots of extra information about the film. After that, they took us through a little museum, followed by a great gift shop with all kinds of things - including several sizes of the famous leg lamp! Lots of the items are bit pricey, but there were inexpensive options as well. It was super fun and well worth it!

A must see if you’re a fan of the movie! I was throughly impressed with the house, the museum, & the gift shop! 10/10 experience on everything, & our guide was AWESOME!!! I unfortunately forgot his name, but he was an Orioles fan! 😆

Great visit to this iconic house! Took about 45 minutes to tour the house, museum, the fire truck and car. Our tour host, Chuck, was awesome! Stopped at the gift shop afterward. If you love A Christmas Story, this is a must see!!

Great tour with a great guide. For the price of the tour you can’t go wrong. Very informative and interactive. Tours run every hour so we arrived at 2:10 and had to wait until the 3:15 until the next tour. No big deal but for those on a “schedule” be prepared. Rowley’s tavern on the corner was a great watering hole to wait for the next tour.

We were in North Ridgeville for a softball tournament and had some time to kill, so we stopped by this house. It was actually pretty cool. We were able to walk around the outside of the house as well as walk around the Bumpus house next door. The gift shop was right across the street and that's where the car and fire truck were on display. It was a nice step back in time for a bit.

If I could give this (10) stars I would. The actual house used in the movie...has been meticulously restored to (how) it was in the movie. In the tour, you'll get to go thru all thru the house. Across the street...they have taken over the house....and have those filled with all sorts of movie set memorabilia. The gift shop is huge...and there is an endless selection of things to buy....the scream all things "Christmas Story"! The tour guide was extremely knowledgeable and made the tour entraining. Oh and by the way - the tour guide asked our group "who in the group, actually went to the movie theater - and saw the movie in the theaters in 1983"? (I) was the (only) one in the group...that has some just that in 1983! One of the all-time great movies!

I stopped with a group to take pictures outside the house on the Christmas light trolley tour. I haven't been there in a long time so I was surprised at how nice the area is now. The area has the iconic house, gift shop, garage with antique cars, plus a bar on the corner.

A fun tour with "Bill" a tour guide with a wicked good sense of humor. The Christmas Story House would just be a prop from a movie, if it wasn't for Bills story telling ability. Not wanting to ruin the tour for those planning a visit, it's a must see for fans of the movie. The interior looks just like it was in the movie and guests are allowed to explore the rooms after the guide tells the story and history of the house. The tour extend to the backyard where crucial parts of the movie were filmed. A fun part of this tour is there are some props that your allowed to hold/touch and take pictures with. At the end of the tour don't forget to tip your guide......

Eric was the best tour guide u could prob even think of having. His passion curating the home from a "Christmas Story" was so informative and fun. You were encouraged to ask any question and even sit on couches in living room or slip under the sink like Randy did in the movie. We took a few pics in front of famous keg lamp holding the red Ryder Bebe gun that we could have shot our eye out with. Luckily we were not a kid. Some steps to upstairs in case that is hard. Also u can stay the night in the upstairs bedroom which is way cool. You definitely need to do this when in Cleveland and about 10 min from rock and roll museum.

While in Cleveland from Buffalo, Pittsburgh, and Virginia! We had to stop by the Christmas Story house! We picked the perfect day too, not too busy and a nice day to take some pics! The gift shop and garage are across the street! A great place to spend an hour or so while visiting the Cleveland area!

I typically stay away from tourists places like this one. Well, I stand corrected. What a fun outing! We had am amazing tour guide and learned so many fun facts! We laughed and enjoyed every minute. Of course one should be familiar with the movie to get the full benefit of the tour. We also went next door for lunch after at the 100 year old tavern. Overall a spectacular outing.

If you're a fan of the movie, this is a fun way to spend a couple hours. I arrived and bought my $18 tour ticket and had to wait about 45 min for the next tour. That allowed me time to check out the gift shop, cars and exterior of Bumpus house. Once the tour began, the guide, Bill, I think, was charismatic and informative. He spoke total for probably 10 minutes and then turned us loose for pictures. Again, it's a fun time and doesn't take long.

I didn't go in the house or museum due to limited time. The house was in great condition. The house was popular with many visitors around 3pm when I was there. Couldn't resist the photo op of this iconic house.

How can such an icon be anything else but five stars? Besides parking being a little tough nothing else is a problem unless you don't like the movie and in that case don't go. The house is amazing. The gift shop is full of treasures that you don't really need but have to have. There are plenty of options to see. Take the tour if you have the time. It's worth it.

My amazing guide perfectly timed our house and museum with fabulous commentary. I was also surprised to find the home to be close to accurate and it was fun to experience all of the rooms of the house as well as the backyard. Our guide also gave our group plenty of time to take pics too. Pro tip: purchase your ticket online and give your self plenty of time in the large gift shop.

For fans of the classic movie A Christmas Story, this is an amazingly well-preserved home with a stunningly accurate restoration, not to mention furniture, props, and perfect details in every room. Most films have absolutely nothing like this. It's evident that someone with a very clear vision acquired the home and turned it into movie magic, a rare point of interest in the U.S. where it actually feels as if you've walked into a Hollywood picture. A Red Rider BB gun box hides behind the desk as it does in the movie with tons of extension cords protruding from the wall nearby. And you're allowed to sit on the couches or in the kitchen and touch everything, which is unlike most museums. The wallpaper, kitchen appliances, leg lamp, Ovaltine decoder and soap in the upstairs bathroom, it's all been replicated to perfection like nothing you've ever seen! The gift shop across the street is massive and well stocked with Christmas Story memorabilia. The museum opposite the house is only accessible with the paid tour, featuring the original BB gun used in the film and much of the actual wardrobe. So definitely buy tickets! The leg lamp on display isn't the original as there were three lamps utilized in the film and all three were broken. The original bunny suit isn't there either, as the actor Peter Billingsley (Ralphie) owns it. But just about everything else you could imagine is displayed in the museum. I've seen a lot of points of interest in each of the 50 states. But this is something unique that is unlike any other experience, especially for fans of the movie! I highly recommend this tour. Tickets are available in the gift shop. You can also have them mailed to you, but they must be punched in the gift shop before the tour.

We are in the middle of a big cross country move from Hawaii to New Jersey due to the military. A Christmas story means a lot to my husband and his family, this movie is truly special to their family so months ago we decided to book a stay on our journey across the country. My father in law was with us for the journey and this was kept a surprise from him until we arrived. He isn't a very emotional man but tears were shed when he realized where we were. The house truly sends you back to the 1940s and straight into the movie, we loved every minute we had here. The loft are where we stayed was very nice, comfortable, updated and very clean! The bathroom was heaven after being in tiny hotel bathrooms for days. My father in law and daughter slept in Ralphie and Randy's room and they were both excited about it. Naturally we played the movie a few times during our stay. The tour was very informative and even as much as we know about the history and the movie, we learned a few things. The Bumpus house is a nice touch to the property though we didn't see inside, but you can see some hounds in the windows which I thought was really clever, and the gift shop was amazing! We will be ordering our leg lamp once we get settled. We recreated scenes from the movie through the night, and left with full hearts and amazing memories!!

If you know, and love, the classic A Christmas Story (1983) then you will love being here. During the tour (which you get an entry time from at the gift shop) you will hear all about how the production came together at the house quite by accident. The tour is something that takes place at the house and the museum and starts with an orientation and then gives you time to explore on your own. Yes, you can even take the tour in a rental bunny suit from the gift shop, and no, I did not do that. The house is mostly decorated with period pieces with only one room roped off. It is therefore an interactive visit with you being able to touch, hold, and pose as much as you want through the home. Almost all the original props are in the museum behind glass. I really like how they split this up. On top of all of this, you can actually spend the night in both A Christmas Story House and the neighboring Bumpus House, which are available for rent. If you're a true fan, you'll be happy to know that the property is up for sale. They bought it on eBay years ago for $100,000, and now it's looking for a new owner to continue the saga. The museum is an overwhelming collection of memories. Bunny slippers, yes the lamp, even Red Ryders are for sale. Yes, I did manage to walk out only with the memories and nothing that I would need to find a place for returning home.

Any fan of the movie should stop here. You get to go through the rooms in the movie and even hold the famous Red Ryder BB gun. Gift shop has some cool stuff

Had a great visit. Chuck the tour guide was well versed and funny. It was worth the price of admission.

If you saw the movie then you will understand why this is a must see. They offer tours throughout the day. That's the only way you'll be able to see the inside. Bill was our guide and he was amazing with his story telling. The tour offers entry into home. Entry in the museum and time for photography. Pricing offered for adults and children Adults ranged around $18. They give discounts to seniors and military personnel. Don't forget to explore the gift shop. This is also where you purchase your tickets. Not to many photos as you will need to experience it yourself. Just don't shoot your eye out!

We came here many many years ago when it was first open as a tourist destination. Back then you had free range of the house and then a presentation at a much smaller museum/gift shop area. Things have changed but in a good way. We decided to return to the house for my sons sake. He's a big fan of the movie and he's never seen it in person. The property is for sale so we didn't want to risk the new owners not offering the same access. There is a small lot for parking your vehicle and off street parking. We were towing a small trailer so that was a bit more complicated to find street parking. The tour is excellent. Started in the house. Many details on the house and movie production etc. we learned new things this go around. They give you about ten minutes to take any photo you want in the house which seems short but it's small house and definitely is enough time. Then it proceeded to outside but it was raining so we quickly went to the museum. There more explanation of the movie production and details. To there was outside and About another 15 minutes or so there and then you were free to shop in the next door gift shop. Gift shop is huge. Way bigger than the last time we were here. It was very easy to walk away spending a lot of money.

On our drive back from DC, we decided to make a stop at the Christmas Story House. It was a fun break. Tour was great. You learn about the back story, bloopers, trivia about the movie. Lots of memorabilia. Tour consists of the main house, yard, museum and garages of the 2 cars featured in the movie. You can also spend the night in the house.

Like so many other ultra niche attractions, either you love it, or you could care less about it. My old lady is a huge fan of the movie and personally I think it's unbelievably stupid. Here we go: Parking: The website map below shows where the two free lots are. When we rolled in both lots were full which meant we had to find on street parking on Buhrer Street. Not a terribly far walk but also not ideal since the day prior it had snowed, and the locals apparently don't believe in salting their sidewalks. www.achristmasstoryhouse.com/parking-2/ Tour: (Fwiw, we came on a weekday the week before Christmas and our tour started within five minutes of getting to the gift shop in the early afternoon.) www.achristmasstoryhouse.com/hours-and-admission/ First off whatever number they cap the tours at is way too many people. 40+ people cannot reasonably move around the house and especially the museum in the time allotted to see everything. There's just not enough space and certain spots are choke points for photos (i.e. leg lamp in the window) that take forever with a group of that size. Also, using the word tour is a bit of a misnomer. You're piled in the living room/downstairs, given two minutes of wiki-trivia and then cut loose to explore. When that's done, you go outside in the yard for another two minutes and then it's across the street to the museum where you're cut loose with a brief Q&A at the end before you're done. It was basically a self-guided tour without saying it's a self-guided tour. I could go on, but it's a moot point. Like I said upfront, if you're a fan of the movie this will be like coming to nostalgia heaven. If not, you'll be annoyed at the format and wondering how you ever got roped into coming.

Who hasn't seen the movie? This is such a great time and get in touch with that 1st time you saw the movie. Plenty of information from the tour guides and things you probably wouldn't find out. 2 hour destination before heading into Cleveland.

It's a one of a kind experience and my husband never stopped smiling. We visited on a Monday afternoon for the tour. A fantastic gift shop is there to keep you busy while killing time. We also appreciated the free parking lot and since this is a neighborhood there's also street parking as well. The tour takes you in the house with a guide that provides background of the movie's start and how each person was cast. You get about 15 minutes to walk around on your own to take pictures and then a few moments outside as well. The museum is across the street. I wish the time to roam here was longer. Fun things to look at and read but I felt like I couldn't linger because of the limited time and sharing the space with others. The guide did a great job here as well telling stories of the items in the museum and details of props and specific shots. The tour itself is about an hour but I'd allot double that for waiting time and gift shop visit. Note: pictures without flash are welcome but do not attempt videoing the guide. A guest on our tour attempted this and was shut down in front of the group which was super awkward.

I just happened to be in Cleveland the week before Christmas and I discovered this was a thing. Absolutely loved my visit! Everything from the tour to the gift shop to the knowledgable and helpful staff. TOUR: Well worth the...well, whatever I spent. Experienced and passionate staff will take you on a tour of the front, downstairs, inside, and backyard of the actual house where the family scenes were shot. You can even take a moment to get a few recitation shots (I sat under the sink; they won't let you put the soap in your mouth). GIFT SHOP: I'd love to tell you prices. Other yelpers will have to help; I honestly didn't look. Any iteration of leg lamp you can think of is here in addition to full bunny costumes (in all sizes), hats from each character (we bought the Schwartz's stocking cap, and an off shoot for other winter holiday memorabilia (Christmas Vacation, Elf, etc.). BONUS: They also have an online presence, so if you forget something (of find out later that your relatives wished they'd gotten a bit of memorabilia), the gift shop does ship! *On a personal note* My father absolutely loved this movie. I can't tell you the number of times we watched it as a family and the laughter we all shared. As my father ages and his cognitive abilities decline, one of the most touching moments was this December when he opened the leg lamp night light. Dad may not be able to remember his family, be able to say more than a few words, and is losing the ability to feed himself. But something connected when he held that gift and now insists on it being near him. Thank you, Christmas Story House & Museum, your work means more than you know.

If you are a fan of the movie and have at least 45mins to spare, I say check it out. The house is pretty small. Turns out they only did about 15 percent of the filming in the house. Tickets have to be purchased before you can do a tour of the house. Ticket office, along with the gift shop, is across the street. They close at 5pm and last tour was at 4:15pm. So if you choose the last tour, hit up the gift shop before 4 to give yourself enough time to browse and shop. Once the tour starts, they give you a little background of the movie sets and how the house was purchased. Then they let you explore the house on your own. You are then taken outside to see the backyard and across the street to where they keep the car. Then you get to check out the museum. It was a pretty cool tour and glad we did it.

My family visited last weekend and we enjoyed ourselves immensely! It's extra fun to be here in December! The house has tours every 30 minutes. We enjoyed the museum and gift shop too. The house itself is much smaller on the inside and we learned that filming was on a Toronto studio set so only some of the film was filmed there. We bought a leg lamp ornament which is on our Christmas tree and we definitely think it's worth going. They do have overnight stays available at the main house and the Bumpus house next door. The surrounding neighborhood is very rundown and parking is at a premium (there's no parking lot so street parking only) but we got lucky and found a spot. There's no food options so don't expect to find a restaurant or anything on site; maybe snacks in the gift shop if anything. Restrooms can be found in the museum and gift shop as well. Tours ran smoothly and every 30 minutes! This was my Christmas present this year and we had such a wonderful time!!

Located in the Tremont neighborhood of Cleveland, A Christmas Story House & Museum is perfect for fans of the 1983 Christmas movie. General admission for the tour of the home cost $15 per adult and $14 for senior citizens aged 60 and above. There is a discount for military. Tours begin at 10:15 am and runs every 30 minutes thereafter. You can purchase tickets at the gift shop, across the street from the home like my husband and I did. Parking is free and available in the lot next to the Bumpus house (the neighbors with the Bumpus Hounds) and also (free) street parking all around. The tour guide we had was very animated, funny and excellent at providing information regarding the home. She (unfortunately I do not recall her name) shared numerous of behind the scenes facts about the movie and the home. A Christmas Story was meant to be a low budget movie. The scouting crew just randomly picked this home as they were driving down the neighborhood because they liked the way the home looked and thought it would be perfect. However they were unable to find the owner. But as fate would have it, they had decided to grab a drink across the street at the Rowley Inn and found the owner there. They had offered the owner of the home $10,000 to film in his home. But he had refused. However after a few drinks, eventually the owner said yes and a check was made out to him. With the home here, only about 15% of the movie was filmed here and about 40- 45% of the movie was filmed in Ohio and then rest was filmed in Toronto, Canada on a sound stage. Views of the home from the front and back and also the shed where Ralphie Parker (Peter Billingsley) would shoot his eye out (lol) was filmed here. Also the famous scene of the Bumpus Hounds devouring the turkey was also filmed here. The funny thing about that scene is that we were told by our tour guide that the dogs used are highly trained police dogs. But because they are trained dogs, none of them went after the turkey. So the dogs were starved for a day or two and then they reshot the scene. The dogs pushed through the back door to the kitchen and actually broke it and devoured that turkey. It happened so quickly that the film crew was not able to get much footage, which is why that scene was so short in the movie. With the tour, you are given limited time to walk around both downstairs and upstairs and take as many photos as you are able. You also get to fondle the leg lamp as much as you wish (no judging) and crawl into the cabinet under the kitchen sink to recreate that scene from the movie if you wish. Then the tour goes outside through the back kitchen door to the backyard. And then across the street at the small museum to view numerous of props from the movie. I really wished the tour allowed for more time in the home, as I think we were only given about 15 minutes and the tour group we were in, was rather large. Same with the time allowed to visit the museum, I believe we were also only given about 15 minutes over there as well. The tour takes about 45 minutes and really is a great way to learn more about the movie. Even if you are not a big fan of the movie or if you had not watched it before (my husband didn't watch this movie until later that evening on the day we went on this tour, lol), you can still enjoy the tour and appreciate the props and set up as part of the home in the movie. Please note that you can actually rent out this home as a vacation rental (although it is rather pricey, which you can see on their business website) and also the Bumpus' home next door (for a much cheaper price). A tour of the home does come with the rental price.

I've been watching A Christmas Story for as long as I can remember. I was excited that our stay in Cleveland brought us so close to the house that we couldn't pass up the opportunity to take a tour and interact with the house. Our tour, costing $15 per person, started in the original house where many of the scenes were shot for the film made in 1983. The story behind how the Producer and Writer found this iconic treasure made it feel like they had fate on their sides that day driving about Cleveland hoping to find a neighborhood near the steel mills in their hay day. I was able to capture some excellent photos of memories from my childhood that have stuck with me all these years. The tour guides were friendly and very knowledgeable on information from the movie, original props, and history of the house and area surrounding. It was like stepping back in time entering the main living room with the iconic major award, leg lamp safely planted in the front window. Seeing the kitchen as it would have been in the time of the 30/40s was a gem! We went across the street to the museum where there was a wall of fabulous fan art depicting scenes from the film. Also, inside the museum where genuine costumes and the ever so popular prop The Red Ryder BB Gun encased for protection. So glad we took to the opportunity to stop by for an hour and see a piece of film history in my home state.

How can you not give A Christmas Story house 5-stars? We were visiting friends in Northeast Ohio so of course we took day trip to Cleveland to visit the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Well, you're not going to Cleveland and not going to see the leg lamp in the window. At least we're not! It is the damnedest thing. We drove into this little neighborhood in an older part of Cleveland with really narrow streets. Just a regular ol' neighborhood, except for the giant tourist attraction on the corner. The museum consists of the Christmas Story house, the next door neighbor's house - The Bumpus family in the movie - with a little parking lot in between. Across the street is a house converted into a gift shop. It is my understanding that you can rent a room and spend the night in the Bumpus house, but I'm not certain, so check that out if you're interested. Whoever lives on the other side of the museum and in the rest of the neighborhood are just regular folks who have to get up and go to work tomorrow. That must be one helluva 'hood to live in. Especially around Christmastime. We did not take the guided tour of the house. I think it was 12 bucks or so. It's not that we're cheap. We were satisfied with a picture on the porch in front of the leg lamp window. LOL We also milled around in the gift shop for awhile. They have every trinket, t-shirt and toy imaginable with "A Christmas Story" theme. Of course they have leg lamps of all sizes. Becky opted for the refrigerator magnet sized leg lamp. She also bought a t-shirt of some sort. They are also branching out and incorporating "Elf" merch into the gift shop. I kinda' felt bad for the people working in the gift shop. "A Christmas Story" the movie plays on a continuous loop all day. It is a great movie and all, but once per year is fine for me... So yeah, if you're in Cleveland, by all means check it out. It's pretty cool!

We love the movie and had to visit the house. We knew it would be super touristy but went anyway. We came away pleasantly surprised from our visit. The place is about a 10 to 15 minute uBer ride from downtown. Parking looked to be a little tight. You start in the gift store which has everything Christmas Story related. Here you pay for your tour which takes about 45 minutes. The tour starts inside at the house across the street. It's a guided tour of about 20 or so at a time. What we liked best was you could play with the items in the house and it was not a hands off museum. Everything from foundling the leg lamp to sitting on the toilet with the super decider ring to playing with the fire truck truck, bowling bowl and of course red Ryder BB gun under the Christmas tree. A quick pass through the backyard and then across the street to the museum with replica and actual props from the movie. Our guide was hilarious and made the tour much more enjoyable. We were there and back in about two hours

We felt like kids all over again here! We did not go into the house, but we spent a good bit of time just in the gift shop store alone, and had an amazing time! We parked on the street and went early and there was just so much to see. A Christmas Story is such a classic movie and I love the fact that they preserved a piece of childhood for many of us. This is a must stop if you were passing through Cleveland.

Unique experience in Cleveland, Ohio! I'll be honest, I'm not the biggest fan of A Christmas Story, but even I could still appreciate the house and the museum. You can take pictures outside for free, or head to the gift shop to get an exclusive inside tour where you can visit the house and the museum across the street with a group and a tour guide. All together it took about an hour. The house is where some of the scenes from the movie were filmed, with props you can play with. The museum holds all of the merchandise, costumes, and props from over the years. My absolute favorite part is the gift shop cat, Cinnamon Toast Crunch!

When you are on vacation and your wife is a huge Christmas Story fan, you have to come to the house and museum. Our tour guide was very enthusiastic, knowledgeable, and interactive. He kept you engaged the whole time. The house made you feel like you were part of the movie. Took you back in time for sure. The museum was fascinating with the art from fans. My wife was very happy with it all for sure. She even spent way too much in the gift shop.

A bit pricy, but worth the stop. Museum and house tour takes about 45 mins, but it's a guided tour and has a few interesting points. It costs 15 bucks a person and leaves every hour on the quarter hour. The gift shop is a bit spendy as well, but has a lot of unique gift ideas. Overall, it's worth an hour of your life to hangout here and shop- we've all seen the movie.

My cousin came to Cleveland to visit and wanted to do touristy stuff so I couldn't wait to take her here! I honestly I had never been here myself but it was such a delight! A Christmas Story is my favorite movie. Walking into the house is like stepping into the movie! You can get your picture with the leg lang and Ralphie's BB gun. You can still underneath the sink like Randy! Overall it's so much fun! They have a store across the street where you can buy tickets for a tour of the house but it's a huge Christmas store too! Plenty of things to buy there :) * visit was made 8/2017

absolutely loved this place what better place to stop in a visit during the holiday season glad they saved the house and items

If you are a person that loves A Christmas Story movie....this needs to be on your vacation route. Everything you remember about the movie you can see in person. Walk the same floors as Ralphy. You will hear stories on making the movie that you never knew. Our tour guide Bill was exceptional, fun and overflowing with knowledge. I would rate it a 12 out of 10.

Bill led a phenomenal tour! He was incredibly knowledgeable and very entertaining! Highly recommend!

This was amazing to visit the house of the movie and see all the museum pieces!!! The tour guy was spot on and informed us about a ton of movie facts. If you've ever seen the movie this is a must stop..

It's ok. I guess if you were a super fan it would be amazing but it was crowded and overpriced to see a house that was re-created by the owner just to get money from tours. It's easy to get to and parking is good. Overall it was just meh...

This was a fantastic experience! We loved how they give you a tour and tell you plenty of stories yet give you time to explore. You'll have a great time!

This museum does a great job balancing memorabilia with interaction. And you get a full guided tour to boot. The main draw is, of course, the house that was used for the exterior and some interior shots of filming. The tour guides have plenty of fun trivia about how the location was chosen and filmed. Plus you get to go through the house and play with all the props (not from the film) they've set up. It's a pretty great facsimile. You then get to go to another house that is more of a traditional museum. They have actual props and costumes from the movie, interviews with the actors and crew, and even some info on deleted scenes. The tour is just a bit expensive (although the museum looks great so they are putting the money to good use). And I wish we'd had a bit more time in the house and with the exhibits. But overall, this is a nostalgia trip well worth taking. They also have a bed and breakfast set up in the house next door. That would be a lot of fun to experience for the ultimate fan.

Fun tour!! Anyone who is a fan of this movie will love this experience! Tour lasts about a hour and you get to see the museum, gift store and The house itself full of props that you take pictures.

We made a spur of the moment trip to visit the Christmas Story House while we were in Cleveland last time. The house itself is much smaller than we anticipated and they had larger tour groups going through, but it was still really cool to see everything from the movie. The tour guides were also very knowledgeable about the movie and house itself. There was also a very cool gift shop across the street with the movie playing on loop. This was an easy afternoon stop and would recommend to anyone who is a fan of the movie and has an hour or two free while in the area.

If you are a fan of the movie this is a must see! It was so fun and interactive. The museum was interesting and I learned more about the film.

If this is one of your must see movies every Christmas you definitely need to make a family vacation out of it! Our tour guide name was Earl D. Lane. He was so enthusiastic and made the experience worth the drive from Columbus. The kids really enjoyed it sooo much. Again it was the Tour guide that made it exciting after the kids were stuck in the car for 2 hours! Thank you!!!

OMG!!! This is a must see for all who are big fans of that movie A Christmas Story! The real house that was used in the movie actually exists. Go to the gift shop first to get your tickets. There is a great guided tour. Our tour guide Star was AMAZING!! There is also a museum across from the house and Bumpus house next to the house as well. There is a small parking place in the Bumpus house parking lot that is free. The tour guide lets you roam around in the house and take pictures as well. Definitely worth seeing.

We visited the Christmas Story House in the Tremont Neighborhood of Cleveland OH on Friday February 26th., there is plenty of parking available but its a tight street so be careful!!! There is also the Bumpus' House, a gift shop and a tour that is very limited due to Covid-19 that starts at 10am. We were unable to get on the list for the time-frame that we were there...so maybe next time...but we did see the MAJOR AWARD in the window....and no sounds of taps anywhere!!! Definitely recommend and definitely going back!! Get your tickets online in advance!!!

My mom loves the movie "A Christmas Story", so when the opportunity to tour the house with her--Christmas Story Bunny Suits and all-- I hopped at the chance. Your first stop on the tour is the gift shop, where you can pick up your tickets and just about any bit of A Christmas Story Swag you can imagine. From custom Ralphie throws to Leg Lamps, they had it all. The tour itself was very well informative, and since most of the real items are contained in the museum across the street, you are free to take photos just about anywhere. I swear my 81 year old mother was like a kid in her Bunny Suit, jumping all over the house, having her picture taken everywhere. If you love the movie as much as my mom and I do, this attraction is a must see. I felt a little subconscious about wearing the Bunny Suit on tour, but looking back, I wouldn't have done it any other way.

The holiday film A Christmas Story is a cultural touchstone for Gen-XErs and beyond. So visiting the house where (some of) it was filmed was a must for the wife & me. The building was purchased by an enthusiast over 15 years ago and painstakingly restored to its movie condition. $15 dollars at the gift shop across the street gets you a ticket to tour the house and the museum. The attention to detail is obsessive. The radio, the Christmas Tree, the Life Buoy soap; precious few details were overlooked. Our tour guide Amanda was friendly and informative in explaining the history of the film as well as imparting some trivia. Terrific job on her part. Hands down, the best part of the tour is that it's totally interactive! You can pose for a selfie with your hands on The Lamp, pick tableware up in the kitchen, hide under the sink like Randy. How many museums can you think of where you can disturb the exhibits without being summarily tossed from the property? The property is also set up as an air b&b rental, so you can spend the night at Ralphie's if that's your thing. A very enjoyable, touristy thing to do the next time you find yourself in Cleveland with an hour to kill.
