Sorry, no.  JPL has no facilities for dealing with the general public.  
That's a real shame because they have a lot of neat stuff.  Old spacecraft,
the photo libraray and the assembly facility are the neatest.
On rare (and I mean rare) occasions, they have an open house.  

My other old stomping ground, Rockwell/Downey, opens up (or at least
they used to) one Friday night a month.  They have Apollo 14 and
a full scale Shuttle mockup.  Additional details can be provided on 
request.
