Do Black Holes have a front and back, or can they be entered from all sides?

Whenever I see pictures of black holes warping space time, it looks like a sink hole sucking matter in. So, hypothetically, if you were to approach it does it just look the same from all sides, or face a certain direction?

If you haven’t seen it yet I highly recommend watching Interstellar. It does a fantastic job of representing both wormholes and black holes based on our best understanding of how such phenomena should/do work.

But you can think of a black hole just like a planet, it’s a sphere, you can (kinda) approach it from all sides just like landing a spaceship on earth or colliding a meteor into earth. The difference is at some point you can’t stop going “down” and there’s no coming back up.
