[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m sorry few people were giving you a straight answer and instead politicizing this. The Easter egg roll is a great tradition.

There are time slots that begin at 7:30am. You have 2 hours inside the actually event and can line up about an hour before. There are tons of  volunteers there to help direct you. In my opinion it’s not worth getting there super early just to wait in line. [b]Once they open the gate everyone gets in pretty quickly. [/b]There is a ton of walking too. So even though your Child is older I would consider a Stroller.

Once inside there are lots of things to do. They have the DC pro tennis team on the tennis courts teaching kids how to play, there is story time, card decorating, an egg hunt, the egg roll, a play exhibit on how an egg goes from the farm to the grocery store and other “yard” games. The only food served is hard boiled eggs on a stick, so take a snack if your child may get hungry. You will not interact with an administration people and there is no brainwashing.

There are restrooms to use too if that is a concern. At the exit your child will get a goody bag of sorts that includes the wooden egg.

[b]You can stay as long as you like [/b]but can’t reenter. Don’t let these high and mighty people deter you.

These were not true in my recent experience.  We had the 9:30 time slot and did not get in until about 45 minutes after.  We were held after going through security, and we were there well before our time slot.  Also, we had many people alerting us that our time slot was ending (wristbands are color coded).  As we were heading to the exit, we saw a character my DS really wanted to meet, so we got in the line and ended up trying to hide our wristbands because it was past the time.  Someone in power pointed out our time was up, but allowed us to stay long enough to meet the character.  However, that person waited with us in line and directed us to the exit afterward.

Once you leave the "activities" area and get to the exit, there are (or were, not sure if it's changed with new administration) lots of trucks with free snacks and samples.  You can linger there as long as you like.  And the kids get a commemorative egg.[/quote]
