2010 Easter Egg Roll

 

2010 White House Easter Egg Roll

Welcome to the 2010 Easter Egg Roll, a White House tradition since 1878! This year's event was held on April 5, 2010 from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. We welcomed 30,000 people from 50 states and the District of Columbia.

Due to the extremely wet weather we experienced this winter, we held the annual White House Easter Egg Hunt inside the White House. This year's theme was "Let's Go Play Inside!" We had 13,000 hard boiled eggs hidden all around three floors of the White House. The following areas were open to the public for the Easter Egg Hunt:

• Oval Office
• Cabinet Room
• Press Briefing Room
• Situation Room
• Roosevelt Room
• Lincoln Bedroom
• Treaty Room
• State Dining Room
• East Room
• Red Room
• Blue Room
• Green Room
• Movie Theater
• Bowling Alley
• White House Mess

This was truly an unforgettable day. Other activities included hide & seek, a dance floor, yoga, and Double Dutch! We also had a reading stage, a music stage, and some special guests performed throughout the day.

Souvenir White House Eggs

The 2010 White House Easter Egg Roll souvenir eggs are available for purchase online at the National Park Foundation website. Each wooden egg is expertly crafted, painted, and includes the signatures of the President and First Lady.

Ticketing

Last year's online ticket distribution was a disaster. Thousands of people overwhelmed the website and were left frustrated and disappointed. This year, White House Easter Egg Roll tickets were distributed via helicopter over 26 major metropolitan areas in advance of the event. This was an excellent opportunity to make some real money by reselling these tickets on eBay in this downtrodden economy!
