WolframAlpha is awesome at these types of questions.

Type "Saturn" and "Today" into the computational engine, and it will figure out your location - and show you a sky map of where you can see Saturn, at Midnight, from your location. You can give it more specific times and dates, and it will show that too.

This one shows the location of Mars, Jupiter and Saturn:

You can rinse and repeat...

It depends on the time of night and your location. You can use this link to find out where to look from your location.

Saturn is the second largest planet in our solar system. Saturn orbits the sun, taking 29.5 Earth years to complete one revolution. So,where is Saturn in the sky? It depends on where it is on its path of orbiting the sun.
