The only fast way to get to Terneuzen is by car. From the south go to the Belgian town Gent, and from there follow the canal straight to the north (30 kilometers from Gent). From the east first fo to Antwerp and take the road to the Belgian coast (in the direction Oostende, Knokke) to the small town of Zelzate on the Dutch-Belgian border. From there go straight to the north (allong the canal)(50 kilometers from Antwerp).
The most touristic (scenic) route is comming from the north. You will have to use a ferry to get accross the Westerschelde. There is a ferry from Kruiningen to Perkpolder east of Terneuzen, the second one is from Flushing (Vlissingen) to Breskens.
These ferries are quite big! More then 200 cars can find a place on them. In the daytime there is a departure every half hour, in the evening every hour. Sailing time is about 20 minutes. If you want to use one of these ferries in the high-season (summer), be prepared for a waiting time of over an hour! Comming from these ferries either side just follow the signs to Terneuzen.
There is no railway station in Terneuzen.
There is very little public transportation in Terneuzen. Either you use your car, or rent a bicycle (or walk since the town is not that big).

If you are very interrested in the petro-chemical industrie you might consider a guided tour on the grounds of the DOW-factory, the largest from this compagnie outside the USA.
