Boulevard City’s 24 New Attractions for the 2026 Season
Boulevard City’s attractions and dining reopen on Saturday 24 October 2026 with a new season lineup of 24 experiences, including a WWE Experience, a virtual flight around Saudi Arabia called Flying Over Saudi, a Mike Tyson Boxing Gym and the five-sense exhibit MixSense. Entry to the zone stays free, but every attraction is ticketed separately through WeBook.
The reopening comes in two phases. Boulevard Riyadh City‘s stage programme started first, with the Abu Bakr Salem Stage lighting up on Thursday 22 October. The attractions and restaurants follow on the 24th, running daily from 4pm to 4am. Our full Boulevard City guide covers the zone in detail.
What is new at Boulevard City this season
The new attractions are spread across the zone, so it helps to think in clusters rather than one long queue. The adrenaline corner has Doos Karting, a paintball arena called Firstaiment, bowling lanes, and a virtual flight around the Kingdom named Flying Over Saudi. Sports fans get the heaviest lineup: the WWE Experience, where visitors step into the ring as the star of their own fight, a Mike Tyson Boxing Gym, and a snooker academy run by Ronnie O’Sullivan.
Collectors and pop-culture fans have TCG Con Arabia (more on the dates below), the jewellery and fashion showcase Pink In, and Twisted Minds. Families get Luca Land, Ducky Park (listed by some outlets as Duck Park) and a pet bird exhibit with some of the region’s most striking birds. The strangest stop is MixSense, an interactive exhibit that its makers say brings the five senses together through the world’s largest sensory tunnel. NoWayOut adds premium escape rooms for anyone who wants to spend an hour locked in a puzzle.
Dates worth marking down
The reopening is only the first date. The season packs the calendar quickly after that.

Entry, tickets and hours
Entry to Boulevard City stays free this season. Every experience inside is ticketed separately, and the booking channel for the season is WeBook. The zone opens daily from 4pm to 4am, and it sits in Hittin next to Boulevard World, which runs its own ticketing; one zone’s ticket does not get you into the other.
The 2026 dining lineup, confirmed through the season booklet: Samad AlIraqi, Layali Adan, Al Matka, Petit Cafe, EL&N London, Les Douceurs, Samile, Gobble Me Good, BeauTea and Aseer Time. The zone also carries its usual two squares of shopping.
The theatre season is already running
While the attractions waited for the 24th, the Abu Bakr Salem Stage lit up on Thursday 22 October with the comedy play Sugar Daddy, followed by I Don’t Know Myself on the 23rd. The programme runs thirteen productions through New Year’s Eve, mixing comedies like Fi Hettah Tanya (4 November) with dramas such as Al Ommda (24 December).
Music has started too. Fadel Chaker’s two comeback nights on the 22nd and 23rd both sold out, with WeBook cancelling fraudulently bought tickets and re-releasing them through its TruFan system. Plays here sell out faster than the rides, so the theatre programme is the one part of Boulevard City worth booking before you arrive.
What comes next
The season keeps moving after the reopening. Boulevard World opens its gates the very next day, on Sunday 25 October, with 25 country pavilions including four new ones. Wonder Garden arrives inside Boulevard City on 18 November, the Ethnosport Culture Festival runs 19 to 28 November, and the Farmers Market and Al Suwaidi Park open on 18 December. Keep our Riyadh Season zone opening dates tracker open as the season rolls out.
