White House Visitors Office
The White House Visitors Office is responsible for public tours of the White House, for maintaining a facility where the public can obtain information about the White House, and for other White House events such as the Easter Egg Roll, holiday open houses, spring and fall garden tours, state arrival ceremonies, and other special events.
The White House Visitor Center, which is managed and operated by the National Park Service, is located within President's Park at the north end of the Herbert C.
