My top 3, ATM.
1. VFW, Hands down the best collection, in the best shape, IN THE WORLD!!! if you disagree that means you haven't seen it with your own eyes. Clay is the best at what he does and this Collection is the best EVER! only problem is its only open to public one weekend out of the year, but its worth what ever it takes to make it! you can't miss this! http://vfwpinball.com/
2. Budapest Pinball Museum, I was in Budapest on a backpacking trip, during a rainy afternoon I was searching for "in-door fun" and was pleasantly surprised to find the Budapest Pinball Museum "Europe's largest pinball collection". The building is super cool with a "dungeon" feel, and great use of pinball parts as decoration. They had a lot of great and rare pinballs. A lot of pins from Europe that I've never seen before, including a "Sexy Girls"!!! Its a great price, about 13$(U.S.) gets you a wristband for up to 12 hours of free play, save your wristbands cus if you go 3 times the 4th is free! the wristband allows you to leave and return as much as you want, so your able to make a whole day of pinball! http://www.flippermuzeum.hu/hu/
3. St. Louis City Museum, This place is amazing! no words can do it justice. This may be my Favorite place on the planet. I'd love to tell you about it but, well you just have to see it with your own eyes. Its basically just a Huge 10 Story building that a "mad Genius" turned into the greatest Jungle Gym/Fun House. Its not just for kids, with its 4 Hidden bars and open past midnight on weekends. I've gone there 3 times and it wasn't until the last time that I finally discovered a hidden bar full of vintage pinball machines, including the biggest collection of pitch and bats I've ever seen. all in great shape, all for only .25cents. There is no map, so bring a flash light, good shoes, and your inner child. https://www.citymuseum.org/
