Hi Tyrone,
Uranus is quite easy to spot even with binos, and in any telescope (even Galileo could have seen it with his 30mm scope if he was looking at the right spot): just check the location with a good star chart or Stellarium (freeware download if you don't have it). Look for a greenish, 6th magnitude star. Don't expect to see any detail, and even at high power it is just a tiny greenish dot. It is well placed in the North in the evenings at present.
Theoretically you can see it naked eye, but in practice it takes a nice dark sky and a bit of experience.
Have fun looking!
