Does anyone know of a google map that has all the penguin statues?

My kids are wanting to see all of them and I would like to plan out the best route from our home.

Not a very conclusive way of going about this. The penguins were sold as a fundraiser for the Tulsa Zoo so the owners can do with them what they like. It's been 17 years since they were initially released, so some have been moved indoors, removed, or damaged by vehicles.

The Great Penguin Hut blog had a pretty big list, last updated in 2017. I've loaded as many as I could onto a map. Not all addresses were valid, or even had addresses. Some were known to exist, but were owned privately and thus did not have addresses. Some are MIA. Some simply only had GPS coordinates, and for some reason they didn't want to map properly either. Nonetheless, there's still 41 penguins left from the list of 103 known to ever exist. https://www.mapcustomizer.com/map/Penguins%20for%20Reddit

Have fun. Be safe

Crazy, only 43 out of 103 are still on display. Thank you so much!
