Really does put you in the holiday spirit. Great tour guides, very involved and seem just as excited as you are to be there. Can't wait to go back when the renovations are done on the gift shop.

You enjoyed the movie. Now see the location. They added a museum, and gift shop, that are blended into the neighbourhood. Parking is street and tough, but free. Tour is $10 and you can touch anything and photo graph everything. FUN time. You get more fun if you go during the summer. The winter crowds are hugh. Enjoy the place.... More

What can I say, I thought it was great. I took the turkey out of the oven, hid under the sink, put the blue ball (its a bowling ball) on my husbands lap and even used the decoder pin, only to find out the message was a crummy commercial. It is 10 bucks a person and was definitely well worth... More

I admit up front, I am a big fan of the movie, so I went expecting to be happy. Even being 60, I love the movie, and now the house. As soon as I turned the corner onto 11th (aka Cleveland St), and saw the leg lamp, I was transported to the movie. Very happy to hear that the house... More

Everyone knows the movie and it is so cool that the real house still exists and someone took the time to preserve it and allow people to enjoy it.

After watching the movie with our grandkids at home, we took them to Public Square where they looked into the same window at Higbee's (now part of the Horseshoe Casino) through which Ralphie saw the Red Rider B-B-Gun. From there, it was a short drive to the Christmas Story House. We didn't know if the g-kids (ages 12, 8 &... More

We did actually meet the actor who played Randy while we were there, and got some great pictures with him and of the house. We took the whole family for Christmas Eve and had a great time kicking off the Holiday and the whole family in the pink Bunny Suit will definitely make a great Christmas card for next year.... More

Really liked the house and the talk by the tour guide. The story is very interesting. Nice gift shop and museum.

What a wonderful, magical way to kick off the Holidays! If you're a fan of the movie (and I know only ONE person who doesn't love it), make a point to come out and spend some time here. It get's VERY crowded as Christmas approaches, but that's to be expected. Some will say it's a bit commercialized...again, that's to be... More
