Boulevard World(BLVD World) (Arabic:بوليفارد وورلد) is anamusement park situated at the Prince Turki al-Awwal Road in the Hittin neighborhood ofRiyadh,Saudi Arabia, located adjacent toBoulevard City. Opened in November 2022, it operates primarily during the annualRiyadh Season entertainment festival and features replicas of iconic landmarks from several countries. Besides being a high-endminiature park, it also features the world’s largest man-madelagoon, with an area of approximately 12-hectares.[1][2][3] So far,Riyadh Season 2024 at Boulevard World attracted 6 million visitors since its opening on October 12th.[4]

Similar toQiddiya, which is under construction, Boulevard World is one of the few amusement parks supported bySaudi Vision 2030 to make Saudi Arabia the entertainment capital of the world and diversify its economy away from oil.
