Saturn is at Opposition. You will get an amazing view of the ringed beauty. You will have to look at the Zodiacal Constellation of Libra and use the bright blue star Zubenelgenubi to find Saturn. Saturn will look like a bright yellowy-cream coloured star but through binoculars and small telescopes you will see what looks like a distinct yellow disc that may appear to have been disected which is the rings. Through powerful telescopes you will see more detail like you get on Google Images. Now I cant guarantee you will see the rings full on that depends on how Saturn is shown to us. Reason being is because Saturn spins at an Axis of 26.7 degrees which in comparable to Earths 23.5 degrees is not that much different it is only 3.2 degrees so they have similar Axial tilts.
