The Penguin Gallery

"I came here one summer while camping near by, exploring town me and my group walked in here just browsing and the atmosphere is very pleasant! I bought a key chain and I’m definitely coming back next time I got to NH!"

"A rude lady working accused my 10 year old son of stealing because he had put a toy in his hoodie pouch because he had no hands and was walking over to me. The lady followed him and said to me, “I caught your son stealing.” when he was just trying to carry stuff over to me. He started to cry of embarrassment and we dropped the stuff we had and left. The lady was super rude and could’ve just watched and if he didn’t take it out of his pocket then she could’ve came over to me and say, politely. “Hi, can you make sure he takes out the stuff in his pocket before you pay?” and I would’ve understood but since she just accused him, a 10 year old KID, I was furious. I really hope she looses her job after what she had done to a CHILD."

"I can't remember a summer when I didn't visit this shop. Some of my earliest memories are shopping in North Conway with my parents, and asking to go to "the penguin to see the glass balls". I'm now 54 & still love this shop. Great staff, fantastic gifts for every age & budget, and their front window displays are pure magic. I have a collection of their witch & friendship glass balls that I add to each year & display in my bow window."

"This place was filled with lots of great things! All kinds of gifts and funny items. I got a really cute pair of reading glasses and in the back, they had mead (honeywine) tasting. The girl back there was fun to talk to and the mead was interesting to try. Cute shop and definitely worth a stop!"

"Loved this store on the high street in Conway New Hampshire. They have such unique items as well. Bought myself a pair of cute gloves from here."
