Each year, many people prepare for 25 days of Christmas to watch some of their favorite Christmas movies. Many people know the movie, “A Christmas Story,” and many may even watch it every year. Fans of this movie can experience the movie in real life as the house from the movie is both a museum and hotel.
Brian Jones is the man behind it all, who has been a long time fan of “A Christmas Story” and bought the Parker family home in Cleveland. For more than 10 years, the family home has been acting as a museum while it took Jones two years to renovate it and add the hotel. With about 80,000 visitors per year, Jones even went as far as buying an old car that resembles the one in the film. He even created a gift shop for fans to enjoy as they stay or come to visit.
The cost of staying at the house depends on the dates as it can cost between $445-$995 per night and staying for Christmas Eve or Christmas Day can rise to $4,995 per night. If you’re simply looking to take a tour, adult tickets are $13 year round.
