Mustelids in North America

ZooAmerica's martens are American Martens, not Pine Martens. They are completely different species not just subspecies.
 
The Calvert Marine Museum in Maryland also has three North American River Otters
The Alaska SeaLife Center also has Sea Otters but they don't have a full exhibit (you can view one in a rehab tank)

Might well be, I'd imagine raccoon isn't too far behind.

Really? I can only think of a couple of places with them, probably no more than 10 AZA zoos at least. The otters have the crossover of being in zoos and aquariums, and it seems a lot of small museums that have just a few fish tanks also have otters to bring in visitors.

I can think of several, many do only have them off-exhibit as ambassadors. They are also common in small facilities since they are common rehabs. A good point about otters easily suitable for both zoos and aquaria.
 
I think the river otter might be the most-kept wild mammal species in the USA.

If we're talking about AZA accredited zoos and aquariums, that may well be correct; I think they might have the highest number of SSP participants out of every species that has one (if not, then definitely top 3). If we include non-accredited zoos, sanctuaries, nature centers, etc, then it gets dicey - especially because they are aquatic (specialized space need) and also not common in many parts of the country. In that case, something like a raccoon may beat them out. Hard to say depending on your definitions.

Sanders County Wildlife Conservation Center - what is this place? I'm putting together a google map for this thread and I can't find any mention of it outside of here. The best I could find is the Wildlife Conservation Center, AKA the Sanders Center, in Massillon Ohio (Stark County).

The Living Treasures Animal Park with honey badger, which of the two parks is it? They have the same name.

For american badger, british columbia wildlife park and kamloops wildlife park are the same place.

A few more, all from north american river otter -
Landry's Downtown Aquarium - which one? I put it as Denver since I know they have otters, but I'm not sure if the others of the same name do, as well.
National History Museum of the Adirondacks - now called The Wild Center
Valley Zoo - is this Edmonton Valley Zoo? If so, it's listed twice.
