Worse service ever!
July 22, 2014

Worse service ever! I paid only for a month, and they kept charging my card even my son never used it. When I contacted them, they said that they cannot re-inverse my money even they saw that nobody used it. Scam and disappointment!

This site is pretty fun, but you can't do anything without membership. This game can be a little boring when it is not party time, well, unless you have membership.

I've had my account since 2006, and when I recently bought a membership last year, I realised just how boring it was even with membership. I ended up leaving half way through my membership to play something else. Once your membership expires, you can't use your items... kind of like fantage when you think. At least with moshi monsters, you get to keep the items you bought.

It's a great idea to have players be penquins but i don't like the monthly plans where you cant wear the items unless you purchase a card month after month and it's just a waste or money and time.

Well, it's another one of those chat-sites. But this time, you're a cute little penguin who waddles all over an island called Club Penguin.

I'll start off by saying the games are really fun. There are a whole lot of games to choose from. There are games where you make pizza, games where you unload trucks, and games where you make smoothies. The higher you score, the more coins you will win. With coins, well, I'll get back to that later. Anyways, I'm sure you'll find a game you love!

Back to coins. Well, if you don't pay for a "membership," coins are virtually useless. If you do pay for one, you can buy clothes and other stuff like that. You pretty much can't do anything cool without a membership, to tell you the truth.

The other "penguins" are normally ten year olds. Most are bratty and rude. Even more have virtual "boyfriends" and "girlfriends." Is this the type of thing you want to encourage your kids to do? Date virtual "penguins?"

In conclusion, the site is mostly bad. The only truly fun things are the games.

The game is fun until you are constantly asked to buy something. There isnt much you can do for free to an extent. Honestly, play if you have the time and money!

Club Penguin is a safe site, but it is a little annoying. A membership is a good thing you can decorate your igloo, dress your penguin and play more games, but many people are banned even if they don't do anything.

Before I start, let me give you a small brief history of Club Penguin, when it came out in 2005, it was a good website, it was managed by its own company and allowed you to roam around an island as a penguin, however to obtain extra perks like specific clothes for your penguin and ore furniture for your igloo (your penguin's virtual home) you would need to buy a membership, but technically the site was free. In 2007, Disney Co. Took over Club Penguin, they took complete control over the game and thats when club penguin went downhill... disney wanted more money so they upgraded club penguin about 7 times and gave club penguin new AMAZING features, however these features are available only to members. Disney released club penguin TOYS, buying one allows a non member to purchase about 3 member items for free. To make a long story short, you can't really do much without a membership all you can do is talk to people and walk around. It isnt fun.

A competly fun and ad free website, great for kids. Paid membership is used to keep the site running, and costs less than most video game rentals.

Club penguin is an awesome game
June 3, 2010

Club penguin is an awesome game. BUT I want it to stop. This website has cyber bullies, stalkers, and sexual harassers. It also has so many racial people involved with the game. What I say, is that it is a very fun game to meet friends, but if this continues, I say it should be banned. This website doesn't ban these people, and that should be done. In my opinion, either it stops, or it should be banned!

My little sister plays this game and gets memberships, I personally think this game is a scam because you have to be a member to decorate igloos, wear clothes, play some games etc... To me its just another Disney money trap like, toony town I think it is?

While this is my son's favorite website and a membership to this site was one of his birthday presents, I do wonder if they couldn't just give memberships away and instead just make money off of all of the club penguin toys they sell. The other present my son got for his birthday was a "club penguin" pet called a puffle. This is all he wanted; a puffle and a membership to clubpenguin. I will not pretend to understand his fascination with this website, but I do not that kids generally lose interest of any given toy after about a week, but this site has kept his interest for 3 months now, so they are doing something right.

I know people are saying because Disney owns this site it is too commercial, but I like that Disney owns it as it makes me feel safe. I showed my kids this site about a month ago and then started paying the monthly fees. Now, I am forced to keep paying the monthly fees or my kids cannot access their "special rewards" and they might lose all of the money they made in the game. Seems a little bit like extortion to me, however the kids are endlessly entertained by this website and I would probably pay 10x as much to have them happy and in their rooms being occupied :) My 2 cent warning is, do not let them know they can go to the local Disney Store and actually buy real life clubpenguin toys unless you want to clutter your house with an endless sea of Puffles.

My children have been playing on this website before Disney bought it and my kids love it even more than ever now. It has become much more commercial because now they can hook up their nintendo DS clubpenguin game to their online game, but it keeps them busy for hours. The games are very social and some are very educational (the karate card game). We drove from SF to LA with our wifi on the laptop and the kids were happy the entire trip playing club penguin. For seven dollars a month, that is priceless.
