keringhuis & Maeslant water center

We will be in Rotterdam on way from Bruges to Delft. What is the easiest way to get from the train station out to the Keringhuis center.

Without your own transport it is awkward to reach: 1. take train from Rotterdam to Schiedam Centrum; 2. get bus from Schiedam to Hoek van Holland; 3. walk around 45 mins to the information centre.

To get to the station near Keringhuis, use this link - Google Maps public transport - Rotterdam Centraal to Hoek van Holland. Once you get there, you can walk, bike or boat to the Keringhuis Center (see www.keringhuis.nl). According to their website, "the Keringhuis is a 45 minute walk from Hoek van Holland Haven railway station. Taxis are available or you can rent a bicycle in the centre of Hoek van Holland. We also have our own jetty."

Thanks for your answers. I "google" walked the trip. We can do this. I think we will rent bikes and bike out to the Keringhuis and back. And we get to see another town/place that wasn't on our list.

I have found two bicycle rentals in Hoek van Holland, both a few minutes' walk from the station Hoek van Holland Haven: Kleijn and Peter van Leeuwen. Both are in the Prins Hendrikstraat (see map), the first one at number 241 and the latter at number 205.

Thank you for you help. I did find the bike shops and have contacted the Keringhuis for tours, tickets etc. I think we are set to go.
