We’re on our way to CLEVELAND, OH.  Meet the Step on Guide & begin touring. A Christmas Story House. A Christmas Story House, now restored to its movie splendor, is open year round to the public for tours. Directly across the street from the house is A Christmas Story Museum, which features original props, costumes and memorabilia from the film, as well as hundreds of rare behind-the-scenes photos. Among the props and costumes are the toys from the Higbee’s window, Randy’s snowsuit, the chalkboard from Miss Shields’ classroom and the family car. After reliving A Christmas Story at Ralphie’s house don’t forget to visit the museum gift shop for your own Major Award Leg Lamp and other great movie memorabilia. Lunch is included at the ROWLEY INN. The Rowley Inn is a beloved Cleveland gastropub located directly across from the iconic A Christmas Story House. Established in 1906, it originally served as a "third shift" bar for steelworkers finishing overnight shifts. Today, it maintains its welcoming, no-frills atmosphere and menu, featuring Cleveland-style comfort food. Recognized for its exceptional service, The Rowley Inn was named Best Restaurant in Cleveland Scene’s 2025 Best of Cleveland awards, it's a must-visit spot for a taste of authentic Cleveland hospitality.
