Riyadh added one of the world’s largest flower gardens to its entertainment map for Riyadh Season 2025-26, and it sat right in the heart of the season’s Hittin zone. Boulevard Flowers ran from 16 April to 16 June 2026 and is now closed.
Boulevard Flowers opened to the public in April 2026, covering a total area of 214,000 square metres one of the largest natural-flower experiences in the world. It replaced Wonder Garden as the signature outdoor zone of Riyadh Season, and the scale is genuinely different from anything the city has hosted before.
During its run, Boulevard Flowers sat directly opposite Boulevard World and Boulevard City, so visitors could easily combine it into the same evening.
The Numbers Behind the Zone
The site spans 214,000 square metres with more than five million plants and around 200 million flowers arranged across the grounds.
The main garden covers 94,000 square metres in a setting that blends nature, art, and entertainment. Planting beds stretching more than 8,500 linear metres form integrated natural displays throughout the zone.
More than 100 varieties of flowers and plants appear in 50 different colours, and the zone features around 2,000 sculptures including large replica airplanes adorned with intricate floral arrangements. Arab News
The Boeing 777 Installations
This is the detail that separates Boulevard Flowers from a standard garden experience.
One of the highlights is the recreation of three Boeing 777 aircraft nestled amid the massive flower fields. These planes feature innovative, family friendly experiences inside. Time Out Riyadh.
Each aircraft tells a different story, combining aviation history with floral artistry. Inside, visitors find floral sculptures, interactive displays, and visual installations turning what once served the skies into art that serves the senses. Soul of Saudi
The concept builds on the earlier BLVD Runway project, where dismantled aircraft were first brought from Jeddah to Riyadh as an art installation.
After Dark: Lights and Sound
This is not a zone you leave by sundown.
The zone has been equipped with a high quality sound system to play music throughout the site, along with a nighttime lighting system that gives visitors a distinctive visual experience.
The combination of lit sculptures, illuminated flower beds, and ambient music makes the post sunset hours arguably the best time to visit crowds thin slightly, and the atmosphere shifts into something closer to a garden gala than a daytime outing.

Ride apps (Uber, Careem) drop off on the main boulevard strip. Parking is available across the Hittin zone, though weekends after 6pm tend to fill quickly arriving closer to 4pm or after 10pm avoids most of the congestion.
Who It’s For
Boulevard Flowers works for most visitor types families with children have the kids’ zone and bird sanctuary, couples and social groups have the photography friendly sculptures and nighttime ambiance, and casual visitors have 40 dining options to anchor an evening.
Visitors from across nationalities have been drawn to the zone. One Zimbabwean visitor described it as “a beautiful gathering of all cultures,” while a Saudi family noted that the space felt like being abroad similar to Malaysia in greenery and scale.
It is not a thrill ride destination. The pace is slow and the scale is wide. Plan for at least 90 minutes minimum; families with children spending time at the kids’ zone or bird sanctuary should budget two to three hours.
How It Fits Into Riyadh Season 2026
Boulevard Flowers opened on April 16, 2026, the same week Boulevard World began its final weeks before closing on May 2. It functioned as the seasonal handover: as the country pavilions wound down, the floral zone picked up the foot traffic from Hittin and extended the Riyadh Season experience into June.
The opening underscores Riyadh’s emergence as a year round destination for leisure and cultural experiences, as the General Entertainment Authority continues to expand the city’s entertainment calendar in line with Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030 goals.
