If you are even a mild fan of the movie, you must visit the house. We visited it during the Christmas Story 5K and it was excellent. The house, which is across the street from the museum looked just like it did in the movie. The museum gives a lot of interesting facts about the movie. It is a shame that the cast does not support the house/museum more. But it is still one of the coolest places to visit, but parking can be a pain during the holiday season. I hear it is a hotel now. Staying there would be so awesome. I will have to look into it,
