Club Penguin is an absoloutely Fab site!
I Love everything, However, Club penguin's membership which let's you buy anything and have access to Member Parties are Expensive, It could do with a little more less money to pay for membership.

Overall this is a great virtual world that has really take off, with virtual pets and loads of cool stuff, Go check it out, but please please please make it free to play as that would be cool! Because I hate paying for online games, make it stop! Vmk was free so why can't club penguin be too? CHECK IT OUT NOW!!

The ease of navigating your way around and that children can play an d communicate in a safe child-friendly environment with language filters and strict rules about privacy and swearing. Members costs are fairly cheap.
I really enjoy club penguin because I've met penguins that have added me to their buddy list and have become great friend and we no nothing about the real person except thier penguin name!

Clubpenguin is a good clean site, safe for kids with many fun mini games making it even more fun. They also have special partys and events going on too! Overall a brilliant site, but my friends on there all say it should be free to become a member.

This site has many rules and chatting goes through a filter and is safe for children I would say 7& up but remember to tell your children not to give away private info!My daughters club penguin WONT LOGIN now she is very sad because she was just about to become a member. Also she had A LOT of money. I know she didnt get banned because I logged in to my parent account and it said that she had never been banned, so the site that they were improving now has faults in my experience.
However I well recommend Club Penguin.

I would honestly recommend any Parent that wants their kids to make friends online and get involved with social networking to use Club Penguin over any other site.
I understand the inevitable worry, however I would advise to just chat to your children about any weird content that they might read and come straight to you... and for the first few days sit with them and see how it goes (great for spending time with them as). I personally have not experienced any bad language or rude suggestion's from other users on Club Penguin yet so this is a very good point as in my opinion there are many sites out there that have been spoilt by bullying, rejection, rudeness...
The intentions of the site are great, to get kids to learn about the world of avatars and social networking, to think of lots of children sitting at the computer making friends in my opinion is a great idea!
I think the reason why Club Penguin works so well is due to the human monitors/moderators that are watching, kids can use certain options to report anything that they feel is not supposed to be exposed.
I personally am on the free membership and although your kids might nag you to pay so they can upgrade your character, I would not advise this as in my opinion one of the great aspects of the site is due to it not being addictive.
There is a "Parents Guide" section that helped me navigate around the site and get a feel of what my children might be experiencing, I would recommend this tool to use on Club Penguin.
There is a strong underlining role of Club Penguin that seems to imply Club Penguin are going to start a whole new Internet safety in social networking. I think if they was to proceed with this, it would be amazing, just the idea of letting children browse on the internet without having rude language thrown at them in seconds makes me excited.
Therefore due to my experience's and opinion's I would recommend Club Penguin to anyone, but be safe and careful by sitting with your kids and getting a proper feel for the site. However, at the moment I have no problems with it!

I found this review unhelpful because...I really don't see why any parent would WANT their child to get involved with social networking. That should be done with real people face to face, whilst playing and exercising. Social Networking, on any site, is far too risky in my opinion. If "bad people" looked or sounded like "bad people" when they were on site we would all know... the point is that they are VERY good at pretending to be of no risk.
