You can go outside and see Saturn for 11 months of the year. For the couple of weeks either side of conjunction it is not possible to view it.
When Saturn is at opposition, you can obviously see it all night. As it approaches conjunction you might be able to see it for only a few minutes before it sets, but never the less you can view it low in the western sky. Then a month later you can get up early and see it again low in the eastern sky for a short time before the rising sun overwhelms it.
