About Al Watan Park
Al Watan Park lies within the King Abdulaziz Historical Center in central Riyadh: about 28,600 m² of green space, rock formations, walkways and shaded seats designed after the region’s landscape, around the Riyadh Water Tower. A large map of Saudi Arabia shows miniature models of landmarks from across the country, and there are boat rides, restaurants and family seating. Visit Saudi lists it as open daily from 4pm to midnight, with paid entry; the National Museum metro station is next door.
Opening hours, prices and seasonal openings change, so please check with Al Watan Park before you go.
