Holiday Lights Rides - Public

A Christmas Story House Tour

You’ve seen the movie “A Christmas Story” along with 40 million other people in marathon showings on cable TV. Now you can visit the house and museum in person! Filmed partially in Cleveland and released in 1983, the story of Ralphie Parker and his Red Ryder 200-shot Carbine Action Air Rifle comes to life on this nostalgic tour. The tour includes information about Public Square, Ohio City, Tremont and admissions to both the Christmas Story House (lovingly renovated and furnished) & the separate Museum, where items from the movie are on display along with over 100 behind-the-scenes photos, and movie-related memorabilia is available for sale. And, yes, the shed is still there to see! You will also learn the story behind the house’s purchase and restoration and some fun facts about the movie. You may not win a “major award”, but you will have fun on the A Christmas Story House Tour!

There are no rides or tours Christmas Eve or Christmas Day. All fares are now subject to a 7.75% State Sales Tax.

Reservations required for all tours.
