I would say: a region of space where in every point acts a Magnetic Force.

Explanation:

In a magnetic Field a charged particle #q# moving with a certain velocity #v# will "feel" a force given by:

#vecF=qvecvxxvecB#

where #vecB# represents the Magnetic Field strength.

So you can imagine to be a charge moving in space and suddenly "feel" a force; this "feeling" of perturbation of your motion will tell you that you entered a Magnetic Field.

Hope it helps!
