Keeping the kids busy without a big bill is possible in Penrith & Nepean. This guide covers listings whose cheapest listed price is $20 or less, free included. That is the listed price only, so it is not a complete list of cheap options, and prices can change. Always confirm with the organiser.
Events and outings
- Nepean Growers and Makers Market in Jamisontown is a relaxed wander for the family.

We do not give prices here, because we only have the fact that each listing is at or under the line. The events and clubs below link to the latest details as organisers publish them. Their own pages are the final word.
