Planning a night out at Boulevard World Riyadh? Here's the quick answer: it's a huge open-air entertainment zone in Riyadh's Hittin district, part of Riyadh Season, open daily from 4:00 PM to 1:00 AM. Zone entry starts at typically around SAR 29–30 on weekdays and rises to SAR 40–58 on weekends. This Boulevard World Riyadh guide walks you through the attractions, tickets and tips you need — with prices in SAR, opening hours and the smartest way to plan your trip.
What is Boulevard World Riyadh?
Boulevard World is one of the flagship zones of Riyadh Season, in the Hittin district on the northwest side of the city. Think of it as an outdoor "world tour" you can do in a single evening — themed districts inspired by different countries, a large man-made lake with boat rides, a cable car, live shows, international street food and dozens of rides and games.
It's built for a full night out, not a quick stop. Families, couples and groups of friends all find something here, and because it's outdoors, the cooler months and evenings are by far the best time to go. It sits close to Boulevard City, so plenty of visitors combine both zones over a weekend.
Boulevard World ticket prices (2025–26)
There are two things to keep in mind: the zone entry ticket (which gets you through the gate) and the cost of individual rides, attractions and passes once you're inside. Entry alone lets you walk the districts, soak up the atmosphere, watch free performances and browse the food and shopping.
Standard entry tickets
- Weekdays (Sunday–Wednesday): typically around SAR 29–30
- Weekends (Thursday–Saturday): typically around SAR 40 with a higher weekend-pass tier reported at around SAR 58.
- Young children: free entry for the youngest visitors — most current guidance sets this at under 3 years, though some visitor reports mention under 5.
Prices shift with demand, special event nights and the day of the week, so always confirm the live price before you buy.
Ramadan 2026 promotional pricing
During Ramadan, Boulevard World runs a well-known set of promotional rates that make it one of the cheapest big nights out in the city:
- Entry ticket: typically around SAR 10
- Parking: typically around SAR 10
- Cable car: typically around SAR 10
- Hours: extended to roughly 5:00 PM–2:00 AM to suit post-iftar and suhoor crowds.
These Ramadan rates are seasonal and hugely popular, so expect busier evenings and longer queues at peak times.
Rides, passes and extra experiences
Individual rides and special experiences are usually paid separately from the gate ticket:
- Single rides and experiences: typically around SAR 20–100 each, depending on the attraction.
- Ride passes: reported by visitors at roughly SAR 150–375 — far better value if you plan to ride a lot in one night.
- Budgeting tip: a comfortable per-person plan on a normal night lands around SAR 30–60 for entry plus whatever rides you choose.
Opening hours and season dates
Outside Ramadan, Boulevard World is open daily from 4:00 PM to 1:00 AM. The current Riyadh Season schedule shows the zone running until 2 May 2026, so there's a long window to plan a visit. Weekends and public holidays are the busiest — if you'd rather a calmer walk-through, a mid-week evening around 5–7 PM is your best bet before the crowds build.
