Bus & tram
Bus
MASCOT (Mat-Su Community Transit; 376-5000; www.matsutransit.com; single ride/day pass $2/5) makes six trips daily to Palmer with buses in Wasilla departing from both the Wal-Mart and Carrs. There are also three commuter runs to Transit Center in Anchorage that depart Wasilla Carrs at 5:40am, 8:28am and 3:32pm.
Car & motorcycle
Car
A rental car in Wasilla is cheaper than Anchorage because the city adds only a 12.5% tax; it's the best way to reach Hatcher Pass Valley Car Rental (775-2880; 435 S Knik St) is in downtown Wasilla and has compacts for $45 a day with unlimited mileage.
Train
The Alaska Railroad (265-2494 in Anchorage, 800-544-0552; www.alaskarailroad.com) from Anchorage stops at Wasilla at 9:45am daily in summer if there are paid reservations (otherwise it just blows on by).

Any of the bus services to Denali will drop you off in town en route far cheaper than the train.
