The zone will be open from 3 December.
Riyadh Season is in full swing and is filled with different zones with different experiences. Now, it is welcoming the return of The Groves. The zone will open on Tuesday, 3 December, and here’s what to expect.
Located in Ar Rafiah, The Groves has been one of Riyadh Season’s most popular zones. This year, The Groves will be open for the winter season and will host special events after dark. The zone is a collaboration between the Saudi General Entertainment Authority and SIHAMCO and will be lit up in hues of blue and purple.
If the previous versions of the zone are anything to go by, visitors are in for a treat. The venue is traditionally home to upmarket restaurants and live entertainment. In previous years, the zone included football festivities and North Pole-inspired experiences. Plus, it opened a Lavender Garden, which drew inspiration from Islamic gardens.
The Groves is not the only new zone to open during Riyadh Season 2024. BLVD Runway will pay homage to Saudi Arabia as an international destination. The new project brings together entertainment on board five specially designed planes. Guests will be able to board the planes for entertainment and restaurants.
If you know your Hufflepuff from your Ravenclaw, then you should visit the new Harry Potter Experience at Boulevard City. Spanning 25,000 square metres, Harry Potter: A Riyadh Season Adventure is a must-visit marvel. The experience draws inspiration from JK Rowling’s best-selling books and the film franchise. It is similar to attractions around the world, including Warner Bros. Studio Tour London – The Making of Harry Potter in London and The Wizarding World of Harry Potter at Universal Studios Orlando in Florida. Explore the magical settings, let the sorting hat select your Hogwarts house, or sip on butter beer while perfecting your wand skills.
Tickets to The Groves are now available, starting at SAR 65 for general admission on weekdays and SAR 95 on weekends (including Thursdays). General access grants visitors entry to The Groves Lake and The Groves Village, where you can immerse yourself in their unique offerings.
