You picked a good night to go outside!

The rule for planets is that they don’t twinkle, just a solid light. You can easily see Venus, Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn (but not its rings without optics). If you know when and where to look (and if the conditions are right), you can also see Mercury and Youranus. Forget Neptune and Pluto.
