I'm no Muslim, but I did tour the Dome of the Rock and al-Asqua Mosques in Jerusalem.
So the answer is yes, non-Muslims may visit a mosque. During prayer, however, there may be some other rules.

Yes they are allowed but (if they want to learn about islam and not come to mess about) if they are a boy they have to wear a hat and if they are a girl then she should wear a scarf.(out of respect) and if you want to learn about islam ask someone in the mosque to guide about the mosque and why muslims do all these things in a mosque.And they will welcome you as a normal muslim just like the others. y do you want to become a muslim? i'm just askin, Reply back.

Yes, non-Muslims are allowed inside mosques...and some times they are allowed during prayer time, so they can see how the rituals are performed.
But there are rules...a person must becareful of what she/he wears (nothing too revealing is allowed)

I think, non-Muslims may visit mosques but they are not allowed to have a glimpse of SANGE ASWAD in MECCA.

They are issued blindfolds and asked politely to stand against the back wall.
Just kidding - There's actually this special room...
