Each year, souvenir wooden eggs are given to children attending the Easter Egg Roll at the White House. These commemorative eggs are
also made available for purchase online as a 5-piece set.
The 2023 eggs have the North Portico of the White House with Easter eggs out front. The special Biden Blue egg features an Easter Bunny with First Pets Commander and Willow.
You can purchase the wooden eggs here.
The easiest way to get to the White House is by taking
the Metro or using a rideshare app. The closest Metrorail stations to the White House are Farragut West and Federal Triangle which are both on the Blue, Orange, and Silver lines
If you do decide to drive, you can find publicly available parking lots and garages at Colonial Parking, LAZ Parking,
SpotHero, to name a few.
Be prepared to wait in long lines when you get there. Your ticket will say what time the line opens up for your group. You may want to get there earlier to get a better place in line. Past
