Town Center

The Town Center (or simply 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 many other places.

The Town has no games, but it is an easy way to access rooms including the Coffee Shop, Dance Club, Clothes Shop, Dock, and the Snow Forts. It is almost always decorated for parties and events. Along with the Plaza, the Town is the busiest room in Club Penguin. The Town is also the oldest room in Club Penguin.
