Yeah, I've been but I was quite young so can't give too much advice that I remember. Rent a car as it's so big (twice the size of Texas) and try to get out of the cities (obviously). Go to the National Park where Mount McKinley is (can't remember the name of it) and obviously try to see some glaciers whilst you're there. If you try to head up to the Arctic Ocean, be warned it's a very, very long journey with just one main road and there is very little human life. There's a gap of 300 miles between the last village (and petrol station) before you get there, and when I went up there we got within 2 miles of the ocean only to be told we couldn't go any further, so I don't know whether that's changed. Also from what I recall there wasn't 24 hour daylight in Anchorage, but at that time of the year there will be 24 hour daylight if you go far enough north (possibly in Fairbanks).
All in all it's a beautiful place and definitely worth a visit. Yukon is also almost as nice and worth a visit if you have the time.
