If you're a fan of this movie, you must go to The Christmas Story House if you are any where near Cleveland. We went about 2 hours out of our way to visit, and thought is was definitely worth the drive. First, the area is not run down as some previous reviewers have mentioned - it's just a basic working... more

Absolutely wonderful! The people there were so nice. We got to sit down while she talking for about 20 minutes on the movie and the house and the owner. The neighborhood is not that nice, in fact I was a little scared. Definately don't let your children wander alone. The store, the museum and the house were all very nice!... more

My sister and I just returned from a trip to The Christmas Story House. We traveled to Cleveland especially to see the House and were not disappointed. If you loved the movie, you will love the House. If you didn't, you will find something to pick about. There is not much to say that hasn't already been said in other... more

We recently visited the Christmas Story house in June 2009. Defenately worth the visit. Our tour guide was friendly and let us walk all around the house and answered any questions. The house has been completely redone inside after falling into ruins. The owner did a great job recreating the inside to look like the movie. We were told that... more

Ah, come on people, get a life! I too was shocked when I drove up but truth is this isn't a bad neighborhood, just a poor one. Most of the homes on the street are HUGE and expensive to maintain. My inlaw is a deputy and we went with three other police and they said it was safe there. Look... more

The Christmas Story House is worth seeing if you're already in Cleveland. If you're a fan of the movie, it might be worth a side trip. The staff is very friendly and helpful. This house was used during the movie to provide the outside shots of the house. They've done an excellent job restoring the house to make it look... more

We got there 15 minutes before closing time, so we just took an opportunity to take some pictures and browse the gift shop. We did not purchase anything since the prices were outrageous, but we did take a handful of pictures in front of the house for memories. We absolutely love the movie, so it'll be nice to have the... more

I don't know what these other people expected, but I, as well as my fiance and his mom, thought that this was the best part of our week long trip to Cleveland (even better than the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, in my opinion, and with a WAY better price and WAY less claustrophobic). First off, the staff was... more

While on a girlfriend weekend, we visited A Christmas Story House since we all love the movie but one of the girls is a fanatic about it. We had picked Cleveland for our destination already because of the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, and when we found out the Christmas Story House was there we knew we had to... more

It only cost $7 to get in, but it is not worth the money. Take a picture of the house from across the street and you pretty much have a picture of the only thing relevant to the movie. Like the other reviewers said, most of the movie was filmed in Canada. Also, the museum across the street was awful.... more
