This is a good question. The best part is when you ask about where you would go. A better question would be "When would you go?"
Before I explain this we have suspend reality and pretend that you would not die as you got close to the black hole.
The answers that talk about being compressed are incorrect. Far from being compressed you would be stretched into a thin string as the force of gravity at your feet becomes a whole lot greater than the force of gravity at your head. These Black Hole tidal forces would stretch you into, . . . well, probably into infinity.
So, IF (This is a HUGE IF!) this does not happen, what would happen?
Well, do you know that the Russian word for "black hole" is? What we call a balck hole, they call a frozen star. Their word for "black hole" is "frozen star". If you were Russian your question would be "Get sucked into a frozen star - where do you go?
Here is why Russian call a black hole a frozen star. Gravity affects time. Just as time slows down as you approach the speed of light time also slows down as a result of gravity.
Some scientists at, where else, MIT placed an atomic clock at the bottom of a tall building and another atomic clock at the top. Sure enough, time at the top of the tower ran faster than time at the bottom. And, the difference in the two clocks exactly agreed with the equation that can be used to calculate the affect of gravity, or mass, on time.
So, at a black hole the gravity is so great, so extreamly, hugely, fantactically great that at the point from the black hole which if you cross you can never come back but if you don't cross you can come back, a point called the 'event horizon', time . . . well, time . . . stops! Just stops.
This is why the Russians call black holes frozen stars, because at the event horizon time stops. If time stops, that's it! No time, no change. Everything is just, well, frozen.
So, if you were to fall into a black hole, you would never get past the event horizon. And assuming that you could live at this point time, for you, would stop.
Now, think about what this means. If time stops for you then no matter how long you are there by the clocks of the rest of us, there is no time for you at all. No time, . . . at . . . all.
Now, stay with me here. For you no time at all passes no matter how long you are there by the clocks of the rest of the universe. This means that for you ALL TIME has passed.
ALL TIME has passed. If you were to go to the event horizon and then leave it instantly, well, there is no such thing as 'instantly' for you since all time stops.
Instantly can be one instant or billions and billions of years. It would not matter since for you no time AT ALL has passed. There would be no way for you to time an instant of time. That, what you call an instant, is, or could be, so it may as well be, all of time for the rest of us.
When you left the black hole's event horizon and then looked back there would be no black hole, no other stars, no other anything because all of time would have passed.
There is probably some theology in all of this somewhere. But there is certainly a lesson: Stay away from these frozen stars!

The answer is to do with the curve of space time and infinate density caused by emense gravitational forces pulling into the center of the sphere. This is only theoretical, but some of the top people think you would get crushed, some of the other people think you would get ripped apart and other people think the only escape is down a worm hole, this may be what is know as cyber fiction.

Black hole is an object in space with a gravitational field so powerful that even electromagnetic radiations like light cannot escape its pull.
It will compress the mass and any matter that comes under its influence so powerfully that it will become a point mass.
No object can escape from it

You get ripped to shreds by tidal forces before you get to the event horizon and, after you cross the event horizon, you take an eternity to fall the remaining distance to the singularity.

depends on how u enter it
and what tech u have on board
if u just use the immense space.time distortion after the event
horizon u can skeep out to any point in the universe or another,
not using Right tech would just colapse even the electrons in ur body on there nuclei,
SO i other worlds u not going nowhere expet to Jesus maybe:)

Actually we answer this question al lthe time by students when they visit our observatory .
You would travel into and
your body would stretch and eventually snap ..how far ?
well i hope not to far that would hurt!
about 148 miles to be exact according to our info we studied .
not an exact distance ..depending on the speed of vaccume inside the black hole
black holes happen from stars collapsing and exploding inward
supernova's are created when the stars expand and explode outwards . .the colors of gas and dust we see are the insides of the stars !
I ca't resist teaching about astronomy!

You dont.....you get, like, killed. Apparently you get sucked inside out or something or other, but you don't go anywhere.

You go to the singularity. I don't know the answer beyond that.

You would be so compressed that you will probably squash to death. or maybe you will find another universe...with no air in it....
