Town Center

The Town Center (most commonly known as the Town) is the main gathering area in Club Penguin, where many penguins chat, and advertise parties at their igloos. The town is usually the point of many penguins as it is the first area that penguins join, unless there are one hundred penguins already in the Town, in which case they will enter into other places. The town has no games, but it is an easy way to access rooms including the Coffee Shop, Dance Club, Snow Forts, Dock, and the Clothes Shop. It is almost always decorated for parties and events. Commonly, penguins advertise their igloo events here. Along with the Plaza, the Town is the busiest room in Club Penguin. The Town is also the oldest room in Club Penguin. Pins are not hidden in the Town, since it would be easily notable.

The window in the Coffee Shop is now on the right side, and the Night Club and Gift Shop are now renamed the Dance Club and Clothes Shop, respectively.
