So this year, there was a Christmas Story House 5K/10K run that ran past (or ended if you ran the 5K) at The Christmas Story House. After the race, I went to visit since my bib got me in for free. Warning though, expect some lines for the house especially over the holidays. The house itself is the most well kept part of the area (the area itself is kind of run down). The house itself is a quick visit (especially for the admission fee).
Be sure to visit the museum across the street since you're there. The shop is on the pricey side as well. If you're a fan go for it I suppose, but not sure it's worth $10-20 admission fee if you have to pay
