Surry Hills: Sydney’s Leafy Playground for Family Days Out
If you're looking for the ultimate inner-city suburb to spend a day with the family, Surry Hills ticks all the boxes. Think tree-lined streets, heritage terraces, converted warehouses, indie galleries, weekend markets, and more dog walkers than you can count. And in the middle of it all? A local gem of a cafe—Dad and the Frog—that’s designed to keep everyone fuelled and happy.
Where to Start Your Surry Hills Family Adventure
From Prince Alfred Park to Shannon Reserve, this suburb is built for strolls and stop-ins. There’s space for kids to run, dogs to sniff, and grown-ups to soak up that relaxed, creative vibe Surry Hills is known for.

And when you need a break from all the wandering? That’s where we come in.
