What the venue publishes
Per-shelter prices published in the Metroparks online booking tool (3 reservable shelters at this park): Sunset Ridge, Acorn Ridge and Cedar Ridge are all "Weekend $200 per day / Weekday: $100 per day". Low end is the cheapest weekday rate, high end the most expensive weekend/holiday rate. All rentals are full-day.
The source publishes a range of $100 to $200, so which end applies depends on the options the source lists.
Huron-Clinton Metroparks allows ceremonies at picnic shelters, and weekday rates are half the weekend rate across the system. A Metroparks daily vehicle entry pass (or annual pass) is required for every vehicle and is not included in the shelter fee.
