Museum of Pinball in Beaumont CA comes to mind, it only opens 3 times a year, however. The Pacific Pinball Museum in Alameda is open daily as far as I know.

Top 20 sorted by number of machines. https://gist.github.com/RyanTG/11b4f4442c6efc4cc58ca8eaaa8c5eaf https://gist.github.com/RyanTG/11b4f4442c6efc4cc58ca8eaaa8c5... Big places like this can be extra-tough to keep up to date, because it's takes more work to crosscheck between the map and what's actually there. Some of these locations are actively kept up to date by the owners/operators. That's the way to go, because they know what's coming in and out. Also, the Krakow Pinball Museum was just submitted today. Haven't added it yet, but it has a lot of machines.

  Neat. You're aware the Museum of Pinball (museumofpinball.org) in Beaumont CA has 500 or so machines? Not sure if it counts since its only open 3 weekends a year. I live within driving range and have been there dozens of times...

    I am aware. I live in LA, so it’s pretty close to me, too. But yeah, it doesn’t quite seem to count as public since it’s just a special events venue, open only a couple days a year. I could be swayed otherwise, though, given that we’re not 100% consistent when it comes to this. Also, it be tough to keep that location up to date on the map! For now, we have a link here: https://pinballmap.com/la/about https://pinballmap.com/la/about
