HOLIDAY ATTRACTIONS

Off the beaten path

If you’re looking for something a little different to do over the holidays this year, here are a few offbeat attractions from the Hampton Hotels Hidden Landmarks Web site.

Visit West 11th Street in Cleveland (across from Rowley’s Inn) where the 1983 movie “A Christmas Story” was shot.

Check out Bronner’s, which calls itself the “World’s Largest Christmas Store,” in Frankenmuth, Mich. The store stocks 50,000 Christmas-related products and says it gets 2 million visitors a year, including 2,000 tour groups.

Go to a reindeer park. Operation Santa Clause at The Reindeer Ranch near Redmond, Ore., bills itself as the home of the country’s largest herd of domesticated reindeer.

Be dazzled by Denver’s Christmas display of more than 40,000 colorful lights on the City and County Building on Bannock Street.
