Ask for a tour?

I think it is cool to tour a data center, and most interviews will give you a tour if it goes well...
but do you ever ask for a tour? I always just wait and see if they ask me, I assume if I interviewed well they will show me around

Same here. If they want you to see the facility they will show you around. I wouldn't ask personally unless it seemed to be going extremely well.
I mostly ask for things that would impact whether or not I would accept the job.
You may not get hired and they may not want to show everyone their environment, DC, NOC room etc.

Edit: and to more answer your question, I have never asked to see a data center at an interview and have been shown the ones that where local to where I was interviewing on my second time back to meet with the team.

I did have a boss in the private sector who showed me around. I took it as a great sign and did get offered the job. I later learned he just loved showing off his work so much that he showed everyone around no matter how poor the interview went.
