I believe most still allow certificated pilots to visit, with advanced notification. Call the tower during business hours (if you don't have the #, ask the controller the next time you fly), and talk to the Supervisor and they'll be able to answer if they allow it and what to do for it.

PS I doubt you'd be able to reach their doors, since most (if not all) have gates, etc., nowadays.
