This family of happy Penguins can be found right by the stairs as you exit from the N, Q and R Trains at 59th Street (Central Park South) and Fifth Avenue. This is also the stop you would take to get to the Central Park Zoo, near 64th Street and Fifth Avenue.
The penguins are part of Urban Oasis (1997) by Ann Schaumberger — the glass-tile animal murals at this station which were commissioned through MTA Arts & Design.
Here’s a different penguin family waiting at the exit onto 60th Street and Fifth Avenue.
I’m all about those kooky penguins
Is the Penguin mosaic on the Southbound or Northbound platform?
Thanks for your comment! The Penguins are in the actual station, which offers access to platforms going in both directions, so you can’t miss them. — G
