The Metroparks are spread across Southeast Michigan in Oakland, Macomb, Livingston, Washtenaw and Wayne counties. While not all are right in our backyard, most are less than an hour’s drive away making them perfect spots for a day trip with your family.
$35 – The discounted cost for Metroparks 5-county residents if you buy before January 1, 2025. That’s less than a family dinner out or a trip to the movies or a gym membership or a week’s worth of coffee purchases. That’s a lot of value for a small price!

365 – How many days a year the Metroparks are open. An annual pass will grant you access to any and all Huron-Clinton Metroparks every day of the year plus if you buy the pass in November or December, you get more than 365 days of access because your pass is good to use immediately.
1,000+ – On average the number of events and programs that the Metroparks host each year. At the Metroparks, you’ll never run out of things to do.
