I plan to come to FL to watch the launch
scheduled for 2/28/02 and want to get a tour
of KSC. I understand we will not be allowed
on the base to watch the launch, but will we
be allowed on afterward?

If you go to:
http://www.nasa.gov/centers/kennedy/launchingrockets/viewing.html

They don't offer inside car passes but there are Launch Transportation Tickets which seem to involve a bus.

There's touring info for Kennedy at:

Actually, I work for the contractor that built the
NCC to be installed on this servicing mission so
I will be going on the bus to watch the launch.
I was wondering if KCS would be open to give tours
the day after the launch.

Thanks for your help!

I was just at the visitor center last week, and am pretty sure the visitor center and bus tour will be open the day after the launch.

Entry into the visitor center used to be free, but since they turned operations over to a contractor, you need to pay for entrance. The bus tour is $26, and a special 'behind the scene tour' is about $45.

My grandson and I are flying to the KSC to watch the launch. Where can we go to view the departure and is the visitors center open on the weekends.

And yes I believe the visitor center is open on the weekends:
