Hidrodoe

Hidrodoe is a water science museum in Herentals featuring over 80 interactive stations where visitors explore water properties through hands-on experiments. The exhibition covers how water behaves, how it reaches communities, and the science behind water systems.

The museum was founded by Pidpa, the water supply company of Antwerp province, and opened in 2003 on World Water Day. Its creation came from a desire to educate the public about water science and the importance of water resources.

The place shows how water shapes everyday life and why protecting it matters for communities. Visitors discover the connection between water resources and local living, gaining insight into shared responsibility for this essential element.

The museum is easily reached from central Herentals and is designed for visitors of all ages with clear instructions at each station. It helps to allow plenty of time for exploring, as engaging with all the experiments can be thorough and absorbing.

The Blauwe Watertuin is an outdoor area where visitors create clouds and explore groundwater systems through experimental stations. This garden space offers a different perspective on water phenomena that cannot be found indoors.
