Looking for free things to do with kids in Penrith and Nepean? We have three free listings so far, across an area of 40 suburbs. That is a short list, and we would rather show you a short honest one than pad it out. Here is what we have found, and how to make the most of it.
What is listed as free
- Write Out West Family Fun Day in Penrith.
- A carnival at Panthers Penrith, also in Penrith.
- A Monday early childhood art class in Emu Plains.
No free clubs are listed for this area yet. The two events and the class below are the ones to start with.
Ideas by age
The early childhood art class is the one for younger children. We don't have a listed age range for it, so ask the organiser what ages it suits. The family fun day and the carnival are events for the whole family, which makes them easier if you have children of different ages. Neither listing gives an age range, so check the organiser's page for the details.
We have nothing free listed for babies, teens or older primary-age children in this area at the moment. We're still adding free options, and when we find real ones we will add them.
Planning a free day
Free does not always mean no planning. A few things are worth checking before you go:
- Whether you need to register or book, even when entry costs nothing.
- The day and time. Events like these are held on set days, so check the organiser's page for when. We have left dates out here because they change.
- Whether anything inside costs extra, such as food, rides or materials.
- What to bring for the weather and for the length of the visit.
Penrith and Emu Plains are the only two suburbs where we have a free listing, so families from elsewhere in the area will need to plan the trip. Check the travel time and think about how long your children can manage in the car.

The events and clubs below link to each listing. Details come from the organisers and can change, so check their own page for the latest times and whether it is still free before you head out.
