getting to Keukenhoff

Last time we visited Keukenhoff,, we had a round trip ticket from the train station. On the web site for the gardens, it lists as the primary plan , "Going across sthe A'Dam lookout to the ferry". Is this the best option now?

(If this has been posted earlier, forgive me. It didn't show that it posted when I last checked.)

Thanks,

Shay

Ton- 3 years ago we were able to buy that combo bus ticket at TIs. Is that still possible? I have been unable to figure this out from the Keukenhof website. I know we can purchase from the site in advance, but with only a couple days in Amsterdam do not want to do so in case the weather does not cooperate.

Thanks - I checked the link, now all I have to do is figure out where these places are :-)

Combitickets are sold in the mobile Arriva store near bus 858 at Schiphol bus station.

I saw that, I wanted to be able to have them before we got moving so as to not lose time getting them at Schiphol on the way. I need to figure out where the other places are relative to Centraal (we will be near there) so we can get these the prior day, but I can't figure those locations out yet.

The first three on the list are AKO book stores at Amsterdam Central station.

Thank you so much! That makes it easy. I had not been able to make sense of the designations after "CS". When we did this 3 years back we did it from Leiden, we knew that we could get these at the TI across from the main train station there.

Noord = North, Oost = East, Middentunnel = Middle tunnel
It is the location in the Central station where you will find the AKO book store.

Indeed, as soon as I saw your post I understood these were locations inside Centraal. On first seeing "tunnel" I could only conjure up the tunnel under the Ij and "huh?", while "noord" made me think across. Thank you again!
