Located along Forbidden Drive in the Wissahickon Valley Park area of Philadelphia, Valley Green Inn is a great place to end a hike in the Wissahickon Valley Park, and has some great history behind it!

We started my birthday hike in the park at the Inn, and were planning to end our hike here with a reward of good food and drinks.  We made reservations for the dog-friendly porch seating area, overlooking the Wissahickon Creek.  However, Cello had her own agenda planned.   We did not realize it was Wissahickon Day, which included a horse parade down Forbidden Drive.  Cello has been very vocal in displaying her distaste for horses lately (something we have begun working on immediately and hope to correct).  We decided it would be best for the horses outside of Valley Green Inn if we had lunch elsewhere!   We decided to head over to the Fairmount Neighborhood of Philadelphia instead.

We hope to come back to Valley Green Inn someday soon with Cello to enjoy food, drink, and the view of the creek.
