Does Uranus have a magnetic field?

Yes, Uranus has a magnetic field. A nice diagram is posted in the Wikipedia article on this chilly blue planet's magnetic field, and a link is provided.


Would it be good to visit a planet with a magnetic field?

We are already on a planet with a magnetic field and yes magnetic fields are what protect the planet from various dangers. Not to mention nearly every planet we have seen has a magnetic field (save venus). It is believed that the magnetic fields of planets save them from solar winds which would otherwise slowly strip the atmospheres of planets by taking out chunks of atoms every time they hit. Mars has an extremely weak (or none according to many scientists) magnetic field and as such the solar winds bash into it and scoop out ions from the planet. Overall conclusion: Yes, you want to visit a planet with a strong magnetic field, it's basically more protection (in theory at least).
