Is there a lookout near the plaza where you can see kansas city? -

Go to the top of Liberty Memorial Tower at the National WWI Museum. This is located near Crown Center and Union Station. You ll get the best view of Kansas City there.

Well, from the Plaza, you really can t see the downtown skyline. I d go to either the Liberty Memorial or the restaurant at the top of the Hyatt hotel near Crown Center (and downtown) for the best views of the city.
