The National Museum

Entrance fee was free. Very impressed! They have the history from humankind up to present day Saudi. Lots of artifacts, videos to watch and replicas on display. Very well organized and structured. The garden is also beautiful and relaxing.

Really interesting place. Great to learn about the history of Saudia Arabia and Islam. Make sure you start in the correct place as it is a journey through the museum!

This muesum is wonderful and educational. A lot of history here. You should definitely go if you have never been before. You will spend several hours here looking at everything.
The outside garden area is also beautiful.
Also, there are electric wheelchairs free to use for those in need. Since I am nearly 8 months pregnant, I was very thankful for the use of this wheelchair.

In simple words...it's beautiful and incredible. The way they have preserved history and heritage is commendable.
Covering entire museum will take at least 4-5 hour, it is definitely a guided tour else it may not be of any benefit.

Worth a visit.
Wonderful place to spend a few hours for family and kids especially when the weather is cool.
The authorities have done a great job.
Best time is to go before sunset and see it during the day and then get a chance to experience the ambience after sunset

This place is a must-see. You can learn history of Saudi Arabia in general. Also if you have chance to bring young kids, I recommend you to visit the place for children on 1st floor. you can play various board games seating on sofa. Especially the lady working there was very kind.

A place with free entry. It offers galleries corresponding to the history of Saudi Arabia from prehistoric times to the present day. Many exhibits are interactive. An additional attraction is the spacious garden.

Firstly it’s amazing how such attractions are free when they include so much. Was not sure what to expect but in true Saudi style it was bigger and better. I found the sections about the formation of the Saudi nation the most interesting as well as the history of the peninsula pre Islam. Surprised to find there was a whole other section outside the main building including lovely gardens. I would recommend especially if you are also interested in the history of Islam and the prophet.

Visited this museum and thought it was quite a good overview of the history of the region and the Saudi states. Many interesting artefacts to view from antiquity. The grounds outside were quite nice and Murabba square and palace are just a brief walk away also.

The National Museum of Saudi Arabia. The full of historical, you can learn from beginning till nowadays. So, this place is definitely worth must visit, a detailed of journey though part is here. The Museum is big, free entrance have parking. I speeding time 90minutes to around, at the end have coffee shop, gift shop and park to relax. After longe journeys. So enjoy your day like I am.

Amazing collection without any entry fee, high level of hospitality at all over the Museum, 4 to 5 hours will not be sufficient, old age and Islamic calligraphy combined at one place

Another must in Saudi. So beautiful place where you will spend around 2 or 3 hours minimum. The museum is so big and plenty of really good history from Saudi. You can learn from the beginning to nowadays the evolution of them, and their culture.

Amazing place. Not entry tickets.. Decent size of artificats and historical representations from the Arab region. The buildings are very well maintained.. Neat and clean. The staff is really helpful and supportive. The park near is good for family and kids to play around. Will need to struggle for parking if going in the rush hours but overall very good place for family. Highly recommended.

Went to visit on a Saturday morning around 10am with the family. There was plenty of shaded free parking and after walking inside the receptionists were helpful. After checking us all in and paying a grand total of zero riyals they told us the general pathway we would need to take around the galleries…

The kids found it a bit boring but were interested in the short films and other interactive displays…

There were a lot of artifacts throughout and some nice model displays of the grand mosque in Makkah.

Definitely worth a visit. Plan to spend about 60-90 min walking around…

Nice experience. Free ticket (but anyway you have to book in the website)

There are a coffee shoop, souvenirs, and open park with water fountain.

It worth to go.

The National Museum is definitely worth a visit! A detailed journey through the past awaits you here! There are many exhibits and dioramas that bring you closer to life long ago! Explanations can be found everywhere in Arabic or English script. There are also many videos and interaction options in bilingual form that loosen up the visit. The free entrance and the non-existent waiting time complete this visit! After the visit, you can relax in the beautiful parks surrounding the museum and recharge your batteries to write your own story! If you liked this review, give it a thumbs up!

It's a must visit place if you like to know Riyadh beyond just the malls & busy roads. Takes you on a journey of this country from pre-islam to current times.

Courteous staff & luxuriously laid out precinct.

Keep about an hour to and another 30 minutes to find a car parking spot.

I visited last week. They have organized a very informative exhibit of the hijrah of the Prophet (P.B.U.H)
It is free of cost and open until 10:00pm

Quite impressed with the exhibition. It's a nice quiet place to enjoy with friends and family and read up on the history of Saudi arabia. They had both English and arabic translations for everything. Thr volunteer staff was helpful.

Hijrah exhibition is amazing! Super informative and interactive, great learning experience! Highly recommend visiting,
