I should be able to get in if I bought a recreation pass with my license plate renewal, right? Or is the metro Park pass and recreation pass tow different things?

Passport on your license plate is for state parks. The metro pass is for metro parks and is 35$ for the annual pass.

The metro pass is different...we just renewed ours for $78...seems a little steep but the park is totally worth it and we get a lot of use of it

Ask for the senior discount park pass..

No

I guess they are different. You need to buy a metro park pass also. Else daily pass costs 10$ for Lake st. Clair
