Although it is clearly stated by many Poskim that one may not enter a x-n house of worship for whatever reason other than Pikuach Nefesh, in Shulchan Aruch there is no explicit Issur about simply entering.
It is Assur though, to have any gain or pleasure from a Makom Avodah Zara.
So perhaps if it isn’t raining and if one doesn’t look at any of the art or architecture, there may be Heterim to found for a Tzorech Rabim.
Perhaps one can also combine the above with the Da’as Yochid of the Meir’i that holds that x-inanity isn’t real Avodah Zara.
