Bicycling is cheap, once you have the bicycle. Look on craigslist for used ones for sale in your area. There may also be a bicycle touring group near you. If you have the bike and brown-bag your lunch you can have a fun day for almost nothing.
Hiking is even cheaper, all you need is good shoes.
Model building? This can be as expensive as you want, but also can consume large amounts of time for little money.

The library is my top choice. Books, movies, music, tapes and lots of free local brochures and information. And you could update your resume for your next job. Learn something new or update some skills that will help you get a good-paying job that you will like.

Volunteer- you've got the time, someone needs the help, and you can make valuable connections. And depending on what you choose, it can be very entertaining!
And yes, the library....... we're watching Ice Age tonight on dvd and it didn't cost me a thing to take it from the local library.
Also- go for a walk, hike, jog..... with or without some friends. Fresh air is never a bad thing. I walk regularly and take a grocery bag with me to pick up the cans and bottles that drivers throw out. Embarasses my kids, but hey, that's free money here where I can recycle!

I recently had a "Girls Night - Game Night". I invited a few of my friends. We played board games, laughed, ate and had a great time. Each of my friends asked if we could do this once a month. It was cheap fun!

Yes! Try your library! Our local library has lots of free programs for children and adults. They also offer free computer classes and tutorials, a lot of people use the tutorials to learn the Windows Office programs which is becoming more and more crucial to getting a good job. Also, see what your local parks department has to offer, even if you dont have children they probably have programs for adults too.

RE: Free Entertainment Ideas
There are so many things that you can do to have fun. Buy a bag of balloons at the local dollar store. Blow up a bunch and play indoors or out with the kids and the hubby. Bake some cookies for valentines days that are heart shaped and share them. Have a picnic on the floor or carpet in the living room. For girls, do your own pamper session with nails, hair and makeup. Play kick the can in the yard with the kids. Fly a kite. For hubby, suprise him with a bottle of wine, and a romantic evening. Have some relaxing music, candles, and maybe some strawberries too. Dance, dance and dance some more. Teach the kids to knit. Make a puzzle as a family. Take a walk and take some pictures of everything in your travels. Colour a picture. Do a craft with the kids. Dancing Raisons.
I am not certain what fun for free you are looking for. With kids? What ages? With Hubby? With Friend or coworkers? Let us know more and I am certain you will get a lot more ideas.

The library is a great place to start, they usually have gossip magazines, the internet, and special interest books, cooking and crafts could be fun.
Day-trips to public spaces and exhibitions. I like the botanic gardens, museums, galleries, etc.
If you have an unemployment/pension card then you travel at discounted rates.
Visit people who are also at home family/friends or invite people over for a cuppa or picnic.
Bingo nights can also be a cheap night out, limit yourself to one book of numbers instead of 10.
Pub Trivia nights and Karaoke are also usualy free. If you are going for the entertainment and not the drinks it doesn't need to cost you a cent.
An exercise group eg walking/cycling will also be free and it is sociable, if there isn't a group in your area then ask a friend or neighbour.
I hope you find something you like. Keeping in contact with your friends and family is probably the cheapest way to pass the time well.

Rent movies, tapes, or books from the local library. Take a hike or walk at a near by park. Bowling is always cheap fun. Some colleges will have concerts or plays to see. Not sure where you live, but some many places have Karoke or bars will have live entertainment. Throw a potluck dinner party and have everyone bring a dish. Have friends over and play cards or board games. There are plenty of things to do without having to spend much money. Get creative.

Have you check out your local library? Some offer free movie rentals and even "new release" and offer free classes of different interest.
