This was so fun! Easy parking, and you head into the gift shop to buy your tickets. Every tour starts at a quarter after each hour. The tour guide, Melissa was I formative and interactive. The house was just like movie and you could pick up items, sit on the couches, get up the cupboards, go outside in the back yard or upstairs! We then went to the museum across the street and saw props, news paper articles, real items from the movie, tribute items, etc. The cars were definitely a must see too!

I loved the movie so when I decided to visit Cleveland for vacation this was on my to do list. The house is the one used for the actual movie and everything in it is replicates the real props are in the museum across the street. The tour guide was very knowledgeable but made too much small talk but once they are done talking you are allowed walk around the two floors and interact with everything. I would definitely tell anyone who liked the movie to make a stop here

So much fun! This is just a feel good place. If you’re a fan of the movie it is well worth the visit. You are able to go into the house, see the boys bedroom, the leg lamp, tree, etc. the Bumpus house is next door and they have a great gift shop. You can only go inside if you’re on a guided tour. Isaiah was a GREAT guide! He made the whole visit. Thank you Isaiah!!!

This place is adorable! I love that the house has been in-restored so it is an exact replica of the original house. The house is full of time period replica props that you can touch, sit on, play with and recreate your own movie scenes. We were given lots of fun facts and we were given plenty of time to enjoy. Didnt feel rushed at all. There is an incredible gift shop across the street that has EVERYTHING you would ever want to purchase that references the movie. There is also a museum that holds many of the original props and costumes. So fun to see the REAL Red Ryder Bebe Gun! The price to get into the house is a little high, but it gets you into the museum too. I was there with my family ranging in age from 4-67 and we all LOVED IT!

The staff were friendly and helpful during the tours. Answered questions and explained the story behind the scenes very well. Great place to go!!

Definitely a place to visit if you LOVED the movie! The guided tour is one the best things! The tour guide is unbelievably knowledgeable and makes the visit perfect! Youre able to walk around the house itself while also being able to visit a museum with some of the props itself!

This was a great extra that was included with your tour of the Christmas story house. There is a lot of movie memorabilia here ranging from posters and props and clothing to two of the actual vehicles from the movie. The tour guides are very knowledgeable and friendly. There is no actual parking at the museum but there is some on the street or at the lot across the street.

I absolutely love to go and view the Christmas Story House and Museum located across the street. When events are going on , you are able to see two of the original vehicles used in the movie. You are also able to purchase tickets and get a tour of the home. They have remodeled the neighborhood, in order to make everything presentable. I do suggest when visiting this location that you keep personal items on yourself and your vehicles locked if you are not going to be right by them. Because of the commons Steel yards located just down the street, it is not the best area to be in. But I have never personally had any issues while visiting the Christmas Story house but you do need to be aware of the rough area around the Christmas story house. I have visited this area for the 30 years I have been on this Earth and I absolutely love every visit

This was such a fun place to visit! Great for any age! The gift shop, house and museum are all on the same block so you can see them all. The house and museum are both included in the price of the tour. Our tour guide was awesome too! She was very knowledgeable about A Christmas Story, she was super nice and made the tour fun instead of bland and boring! I would definitely recommend visiting A Christmas Story house for anyone visiting the Cleveland, OH area!!

Wish they talked more about the house while inside the house. Definitely pay more for the bunny suit rental! House is pretty sparse inside, but youre able to touch everything. The museum across the street was more interesting with all the fun facts. Tour guides had great personality

Im not a lover of this movie but I did love this tour. It was a very nice tribute to the movie with a lot of memorabilia from the actual movie. The tour guide gives a lot of little-known facts about the movie and cast. The gift shop was great and had items from some other popular Christmas movies as well. The Christmas story items there were nice and there was an abundance of them to choose from of course.

This is a great place to visit if you are in the area, their are 3 buildings, the house, museum, and gift shop, you definitely need to go in all of them, the gift shop is big and sells a remake of almost ever prop. They have several original props and costumes in the museum. The actual house is “interactive” so they have props that you can take pictures with. The tour guide tells lots of facts about the movie and how it was filmed, they also talk about the props and how many still exist and were they are.

I visited a few yrs ago because this is one of my Favorite Christmas films. My family and I watch it every year and is a tradition I am passing down to my grandchildren. Super affordable and family friendly. The tour is a gem. The upgrades and additions was a welcomed and nice surprise. Our tour guide was AMAZING! HE WAS FUNNY AND EXTREMELY PERSONABLE.. I also learned a few new things that I did not know. I was sad to not be able to take another picture in the pink bunny suit this time but understand why. Keep up the good work!

Had a great time its a really nice tour especially if you like the movie and its cheap.....side note if you rent or buy a bunny suit to wear during the tour the tour guide has to wear one too lol look in pics I posted pics of our tour guide in his bunny suit

I totally recommend going to see the Christmas story house . It was everything thing we expected and more. The Museum has lots of interesting pictures and movie costumes,Movie posters, red Ryder BB gun. The gift shop has all kinds of different souvenirs of objects that were in the movie.

Loved the trip down memory lane! Parts of the movie played in my head as I walked through the house. Loved all the antique props and being able to touch them!! That was a great experience for those who grew up with Ralphies Christmas Story!

Great experience, love the movie, and the major award is in the window. Tours available. We were late, going back for sure.

Fantastic,Elija was OUR tour guide very friendly very knowledgeable and very entertaining and professional, its AMAZING visiting in PERSON THE house,he brought the house to life museum was also amazing, its a must visit if you love the movie.

This was a pretty cool place to visit. It is open all year long. You can rent the bumpus house for a night or so too. I think you can stay at the christmas story house too. I have not done that so I do not really know how it works. Otherwise it is a nice little place to visit with the family. And to pick up a new lamp!

If you love the movie like my family does than this is a fun stop. We called ahead and they told us not to drive our RV there since the roads are narrow and one way. So we parked at Home Depot and took the car over. It’s a really cute neighborhood. We paid the $13 each to tour the house and spent a good hour touring the place and going to the museum. Took lots of photos. Our tour guide was very friendly, while the girl who took our ticket money was more like the elves who worked at Bigbys. Across the street is a great gift shop. Overall it’s a fun attraction.

A visit to this place took me back to my childhood instantly...watching this movie year after year around the holidays somehow never got old. Really glad its survived and preserved for nostalgia. Support it with a visit if you can.

If youre anywhere around the Cleveland, OH area and a fan of A Christmas Story, then consider this an absolute must-visit place. Dont question it, just go, its awesome, you will not regret it! They have made absolutely sure that Ralphies house and the Bumpus house are exactly the same as in the movie.

It was absolutely wonderful! A great way to spend a family day or a fun date. The house is immaculate and the tour is interactive- you can even crawl under the sink! Nice museum and gift shop. Also not to expensive!! Highly recommended!

We drove by this while driving through Cleveland. It was a few days after Christmas and the place was packed. People were lined up out the door of the museum and they were lined up in the gift shop. We didnt stand in either line, but vowed to come back when it is less busy.

If you like the movie youll love this place

If youre a fan of the movie, youll appreciate getting to stand on Cleveland Street and visit the house where a lot of the filming of A Christmas Story took place.The tour is semi-guided, meaning one of the staff walks you to the house, gives a five minute spiel, then lets you explore the house for a while. The same occurs at the museum, and at the garage. It can be fun for the kids, but it does take about 45 minutes all told.Worth a visit if you have some time and love the movie. I CLE.

I read the book and have seen the film dozens of times. After running A Christmas Story House 10k I finally had the opportunity to experience the house. I travelled from the Buffalo, NY, region to check this out and it was worth it. Many flashbacks from the movie when checking out the various rooms and trying to figure out how it was filmed. The museum is also a must to see as it contains some actual props used in the film. Gift shop has plenty to offer for everyone.A movie fan will truly appreciate this restored house and area, a major award!

This was truly an awesome visit. We werent going to come here. It was a last minute thought. It was a great tour and worth the admission. I highly recommend a visit to The Christmas Story house.

It was a well organized clean little area. Parking is difficult so dont freak out and there maybe a long line for tickets. An adult ticket was $13 for the house and museum so personally not bad! The gift shop was cute and unique.

Absolutely wonderful experience for fans of the movie. Definitely expect it to be busy near the holidays. Also be forwarned that the surrounding neighborhood is fairly rough and you will definitely want to be locking your car and hiding your valuables. Also be aware that the tour of the property is fairly expensive at $13 a person at the time of this writing. Beyond those small negatives I had an absolute blast here.

It was a blast to see Ralphies house and pose with a Red Ryder BB gun. One of the original Red Ryders from the movie is on display on the museum. The family Buick and the Fire truck are also on display.Well worth the $14 price of admission.

I have loved the Christmas Story movie for many years. Seeing the house only enhances the warm feelings I already have. Our guide was knowledgeable about the house and its role in the making of the movie. The house is interactive as they say so you can pick up things sit in chairs take pics. That makes the experience even better. I was in a large tour group so it was harder to get all the photos without people in them. But I managed to still get some awesome pics. We were there around 2pm which explains why it was busy mid morning or late afternoon would be better Im sure. The gift shop was great many items available from affordable to expensive. Admission is $11 and I think that is very reasonable. We had to park on the street no cost there and were fairly close to the house. If you are a fan of the Christmas story movie you have to make a trip to Cleveland to see this house!

May not be the same experience for everyone, but this is a wonderful and nostalgic place for lovers of the movie, Christmas and simpler times. Great staff and tours, with plenty of movie memorabilia from the set, this is a wonderful place to take the family or that special someone. I plan to make this an annual trip.

Did you like the movie A Christmas Story? Want one of those leg lamps or a Red Ryder BB Gun? This idls the place. You can tour the house from the movie, and then get that lamp!

Such a great time! The big guy who did the tour was wonderful, he definitely made the tour!

This movie was and still a large part of my life. My father who passed, we watched this move and loved it every years. I had the opportunity to visit the house where the movie was made. A moment i will never forget and will cherish. Fun place to visit, parking sucked but once we found a spot the visit of the home where the movie was filmed was truly amazing. Highly. Recommended a visit to an experince of a childhood favorite movie.

Great experience. Worth every penny. The house itself is more for photo opportunities; the museum across the street is where the real props and memorabilia are located. We went on a Sunday first thing in December when they opened. Tours are self-guided. If you buy tickets in advance, you can line up directly in front of the house and bypass the line in the gift shop. The tickets do not say this. Definitely buy tickets in advance during the holidays and skip the lines. The gift shop has a lot of fun choices and gifts, bring money.

This is a must-stop for any fan of the movie. The tour was great and our guide was extremely knowledgeable. He explained the history of the house and how it started, was changed, then was renovated back to nearly the original of the movie.In the house, you’re allowed to interact with everything as none of it was used in the movie. Across the street is a museum, which is where they have a large collection of props from the movie.The gift shop is large with a variety of items that will help you easily empty your wallet.

The tour was great. The house has been restored to look exactly like it did in the movie. The gift shop across the street has everything you can think of related to the movie and with your tour ticket you get a discount at the restaurant on the corner.

Great visit. Not really nothing spectacular about it tbh, but it was cool knowing the process of making the film and what they had to go thru in order to make it.

Awesome atmosphere! Tons of nostalgia throughout the main house. The self guided tour can be crowded depending on the day. If you can, I suggest getting the private tour. It includes a guide which will give you lesser known knowledge about the house and movie. Next door is the museum which holds even more about the movie in its entirety.

I loved the movie and always wanted to see the filming location. The house is much as youd expect from having seen the movie. The museum is very interesting with many of the original props and information. The staff is friendly and informative. The gift shop is well stocked, organized, and welcoming. The tour is well worth the $14 and I will recommend it to anyone looking to do something interesting in Cleveland for a few hours.

This place is AMAZING and so much fun to visit. Especially if you are A Christmas Story fan! I have been the last couple of Holiday seasons and plan to make it a yearly tradition. It is open year round except for a few weeks early in the year for renovations. A must see!!

They give you a very good history about the house & the filming of the movie. They have many of the props from the movie still there.

Simply not to be missed. So fun, funny, and nostalgic. A home run for true fans!

This place is pretty well decorated with memorabilia from the film. The house is said to be restored to how it looked in the movie, but I noticed a few inaccuracies. Overall, its fantastic for Christmas Story fanatics!

I had a great time here. Our tour guide Cody was excellent!

Neat and well kept. A secret supercool spot in Cleveland y’all!!! A museum and a gift shop. Don’t be like me. Pay attention to the hours when you plan your trip so you have time to see all the cool stuff from the movie.

Very cool little stop essential to anyone visiting Cleveland. Get a guided tour off the famous movie house. You can sit on the couch, pick up the bb gun, go upstairs, and you can even takea bite out of the soap if you want to. Gift shop is great. You can even rent a bunny suit to go on the tour, classic!

Great gift shop... although a little pricey, about what I expected... and the tour guide was very knowledgeable and friendly. Fun to get pictures reenacting scenes from the movie in the house!

If you are in the Cleveland area, this is a must see. Great tour guides (Ernie) ... great movie facts and ties it to items for sale in gift shop ... Great tour experience. This is for all ages.

Fun to visit if you really really really loved the movie...else you will simply be affronted by a massive sales campaign, but hey, maybe once is all you need? Oh, yeah to visit the house you need to join the tour, and the guide we had was very boring, monotone, he had clearly spoken the very same lines hundreds of times, unfortunately does not seem too interested in changing much of his presentation, sort of a human equivalent of a tape player...yeah, that bad!

Pretty cool stop just to say youve been there.

Omg just like the movie.....really cool place

The whole family enjoyed it even the 2 teens. Guided tour was fun and informational. The home is interactive which means you can walk around, touch things, take photos ect. The Museum cross the street has some pretty cool archives and lots of items in the store! Everyone we came in contact with was very nice.

Really fun and interesting recreation of the house that was used for filming of the movie. The museum has actual artifacts from the movie. The firetruck and the old mans Oldsmobile are there also.

I grew up watching this at Christmas time whats fun going through it and in the house you get to touch everything.I was told though at Christmas time was their busiest time of the year and they line up around the the block just to go through.

Really interesting to see the set of one of Americas favorite Christmas Movies. Wish I wouldve had more time to stay for the tour.

As was already said, if you’re a fan of the movie you will absolutely love visiting the home and museum. So neat to stand in the places where those memorable scenes were shot and well preserved.

The Christmas Story 5K was a blast!!! We got lucky and it was a nice day in Cleveland. If you like the movie and like to run give it a chance. At the end you get to tour the house and drink Ovaltine. lol

I happened upon this place purely by accident and figured id check it out. The gift shop across the street is free and its 14.00 for a tour ticket of the original house. It is a guided tour that lasts about 45 minutes. Its amazing how actually small the inside of the house is, spoiler alert...according to ernie our guide only about 15 percent of the movie was filmed here. Across the street is the museum where they have some of the original props...second spoiler alert, the original leg lamp is not there..it was dstroyed along with about 79 percent of the other props but there are various replicas. The third floor of the house can be rented out for overnight stays as qell as the house next door. Not terrible if you liked the movie...its one of those been there done thats for me...wont go back.

Im the biggest fan of this movie and to find out theres a tour, gift shop, etc., I almost passed out from excitement when we arrived. Such an awesome place and then the Rowley Inns food was fantastic! I highly recommend the mac and cheese

I dont like the movie this museum is about but I went along with the group and it was so much better than expected. Even for someone who has seen the movie in bits and parts a few times, the tour was interesting and the behind scenes of Hollywood magic was fun to learn. Our tour guide seemed to genuinely enjoy her job and was engaging to listen to.

Growing up with this fantastic movie, it was only right to take my family here on Christmas eve. A beautiful place with much to look at! This tour is very interactive, you can touch and reenact scenes for fun! Dont worry, the actual props are in the museum across the street! Amazing gift shop with reasonable prices!

Six stars for this place. The tour is short because the house is small, but if you love the movie, you have to visit this place! The house has been preserved well and although not everything is from the movie, the look and feel is like being there. The gift shop/museum accross the street sells lots of leg lamp replicas and bunny pajamas and has cool photos taken during filming and some of the original costumes. I love that this kind of thing exists in this world!! They should give it a major award!

I triple dog dare you not to love this place. You will be stuck!!!

Was really cool and learned alot glad we went

It was amazing to see the house in person. If you think you might be interested, chances are youll enjoy the tour. There is plenty of parking, including a small lot to the left of the house and street parking. The museum and gift shop buildings are directly across the street, so you dont have to park in front of residents homes as long if its not crowded. I went first thing on a Thursday morning in early December, and it wasnt crowded, just 8 people in my group. Also, other reviews have commented on the bad neighborhood. I felt completely safe. Its just an old, working class urban neighborhood like you see in all kinds of large cities. It wasnt dangerous at all. If you like souvenirs and movie related things, youre sure to find something in the large gift shop. And if you opt not to take the tour, you can still walk around outside and take photos of the house. The leg lamp is lit and visible in the front window.

If you love the movie, you should go. In the house, you can touch everything. It was fun to be there!

They add more to this each year, but the house itself is pretty small and crowded. Try to come out and visit when there aren’t 1000s of people. Definitely worth a visit for any big fan of the movie, but plan well. You will be waiting in whatever weather Ohio offers that day.

Its definitely worth checking out. They have certainly done all they can with this movie; every major prop and costume piece is there, and they have videos from the Making of the movie playing in various areas. Consider going at a time not near Christmas so it wont be so crowded

Absolutely charming place. There is a world class museum and visitors center plus, you can visit the house as part of the tour. Prices are very reasonable and the surrounding neighborhood is historic and equally charming.

An experience of a life time.. if you love the Movie ,A Christmas Story go to this museum.. what an adventure.. Gary was our tour guide.. so knowledgeable about the tidbits and facts of this film and house.

I took a friend to take a tour of the house and our guide did a great job. Very interesting, funny and informative.

Pretty cool stuff. My wife is a big fan of the movie and this brought back her childhood memories which is what it’s all about. Great shop the tours are guided and timed so that’s about the only down side.

Definitely worth it if youre a fan of the movie, depending on timing you can visit in under 2 hours. They did a great job of restoring it to look like it did in the movie. Parking could be a challenge around the holidays, its mostly on street parking. They have a lot of original props too.

What Christmas isnt complete without watching Christmas Story the movie. To see this in person after watching all the years growing up. What a treat.

A unique gem of an opportunity. Plan to spend ones to two hours exploring parts of the refurbished set and adjacent museum. The house itself is interactive meaning you can play and pose with things in the house. (Hint: make sure to use the upstairs telephone!)

It was everything I hoped it would be! Felt like I was in the movie. Want to go back soon.

Great times touring a movie classic. Even more history across the street in museum.

Well worth the stop for any devoted or casual fans of the movie. The back yard shed and fence where Black Bart met his demise was great. Leg lamp appears fully restored. Museum and gift shop across the street are fun to look around also.

We loved taking the kids to see their favorite Christmas movie house .. it was easy to find and by next Christmas they should have the neighbors house finished.The gift shop was huge. The prices were a bit extreme.We even got to eat at the diner the cast ate at during filming .It was a great experience. I highly recommend the Christmas Story House if you liked the movie.

The tour guide made the tour very pleasant. Enjoyed the tour.. Saw the movie many times..

The absolutely stunning feelings of nostalgia derived from memories of watching the official film in which it was filmed in create such a pleasant sense of being at home and reliving an epic childhood... not to mention, Im from a suburb of Cleveland. Alongside, running in the 5K/10K that has been an inspiration to me individually and even an inspiration to a whole community of people who come from a series of different backgrounds was an extraordinary experience amongst all of what downtown Christmas decorations and lights had to offer!

If you liked the movie youll love the house! Well worth the admission to see and hear all about the movie and real live location.

I have been there 2 times in a row! i still like how A Christmas Story was made in Cleveland!!

Great place for a day trip! I went in just expecting to see the house but I ended up learning many cool facts about the movie. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and enthusiastic. The $11 admission fee is a fair price for the awesome tour. Would love to return around Christmas time.

Had a great time visiting the house and the museum. Got to learn a little more about the history which was cool. The tour guide was very nice and the entire staff was very friendly. Theres also a restuarant right next door and if you eat like Ralphies little brother Randy, they give you a free t-shirt.

Dont like the movie, but took my husband because its his favorite. The museum really made the movie come to life. Ill be looking forward to watching the movie next Christmas. Do yourself a favor and pay for the actual your: do not just snap a picture and drive by.

This was a bucket list destination and it sure did not disappoint! It is amazing to see an actual movie set in person! The guides were friendly and knowledgeable and the gift store across the street is beautiful and large with lots of Christmas story items and Christmas Vacation and items for sale. They also have a museum with behind the scenes picture, props and costumes from the movie. This was so awesome!

I love the movie abd enjoyed my visit to the house and museum. Please go early because there are lots of people visiting also. I enjoyed the visit so much.

We traveled to Cleveland on a whim to play at Jack Casino (The building where the toy store took place in the movie). Stayed over night and decided to go check out the tour, gift shop and museum. We enjoyed it. The facts we learned about the making of the movie were very interesting and I would highly recommend this to anyone who visits Cleveland and has some spare time!!

This is one of my favourite Christmas movies so it was well worth it. They give a nice tour of the actual home and you can see memorabilia from the movie.

Had alot of fun seeing the house and props from the movie!

Awesome tour! Way more than I expected. The tour was fact filled and really interesting. The gift shop really impressed me. I had no idea how many items were available, its hard to get a handle on what a huge variety of stuff they have until you see everything out on display. Veteran Owned Business is always a welcome sight on a storefront. If youre in Cleveland and you have a couple hours to spare, you gotta get out there! Everyone was so friendly and helpful.

Price of admission is a bit high for a rather superficial tour ($5 would be more reasonable), but they claim to have had over 100,000 visitors in 2017 so they must be doing something right. There were a handful of fun facts about the making of the movie that were interesting to anyone who’s watched it. The actual tour of the house and museum left a little to be desired, with way too much plugging of the gift shop and bar across the street. The best part was learning that they donate money to the neighborhood to help the other houses and properties (where people actually live) look nice.

Such a fun experience! It is so exciting to see this house and all of the props from the movie. The tour is really informative and fun and totally worth the money! You get to go in the museum and see costumes and memorabilia. This is a must for any fan of A Christmas Story!

Restored to its movie version. Tours aren’t cheap but a must for any Christmas Story fan. Free on street parking, and the gift shop is pretty expansive. Can also explore the exterior for free.

Cool location and well preserved but no admittance unless you go through a tour starting in the gift shop

Our tour guide, Brittany, was knowledgeable, engaging and so inviting! We had a wonderful time!
