Hi Stephen,
Upcoming space launches are listed on: https://spaceflightnow.com/launch-schedule/ and https://www.spacelaunchschedule.com/
Projected launch dates are always subject to change, sometimes even at the last second. Launches in the US occur at Kennedy Space Center and Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida, Vandenberg Space Force Base in California, and Wallops Island in Virginia.
Both the Kennedy Space Center and Johnson Space Center in Texas have very large visitor complexes with guided tours. Admission prices are comparable to what they charge at Disney World in nearby Orlando, which is to say not inexpensive. Goddard Space Flight Center in Maryland offers free tours, other NASA centers have limited or no public access, inquire with the center you want to visit. The Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California does offer occasional public lectures in the Von Karman Auditorium on campus.
The National Air and Space Museum in Washington DC and the Steven F. Udvar-Hazy Center in Chantilly, Virginia (near Dulles Airport) have historical exhibits, including the retired Space Shuttle Discovery in Chantilly. Space shuttle Endeavour is at the California Science Center in Los Angeles, Atlantis is at the Kennedy Space Center in Florida. Enterprise, which never flew in space, is at the Intrepid Sea Air & Space Museum in New York City. The U.S. Space & Rocket Center in Huntsville, Alabama has many exhibits on the Apollo program and the Saturn V rocket. The Kansas Cosmosphere in Hutchinson, Kansas is also noteworthy but somewhat out of the way. The US Air Force Museum in Dayton, Ohio has a declassified Hexagon Reconnaissance (spy) Satellite.
Have a good trip.

Iām looking to travel to US in March. Thought might be a good idea to
check out a launch. Anyone got information on something happening around then that might be worth a visit.
Space center visit etc.
