You can also say, "I prefer to go to ANOTHER place. Especially you are not sure which other place you want to go to. "otherwise" means "under other circumstances" or "or esle". Example: If you are going to the movies, I will go with you. Otherwise I would rather stay home. Example: You should wear a seat belt when you drive. Otherwise you may be seriously hurt.

'I prefer to go to ANOTHER (the OTHER) place'. The adverb 'otherwise' means 'if not'. We use it to say that something will happen if something else does not happen: 'You must get to the station before 3 o'clock, OTHERWISE (= or else) you'll miss the train.' 'My parents lent me the money. OTHERWISE, I couldn’t have afforded the trip.' 'Shut the window, OTHERWISE it’ll get too cold in here.' 'You are obliged to refund my money. OTHERWISE I shall take legal action.' It can also come at the end of a separate sentence. 'You are obliged to refund my money. I shall take legal action OTHERWISE.'

No. I prefer to go to the OTHER place (the park rather than the beach). Otherwise, I will be bored. (if i don't go to the park - I will be bored). Politicians always make promises that they can't keep, otherwise they will never be elected. (they won't be elected if they don't make promises) I must leave now, otherwise I will be late for school. (i will be late if I don't leave now). If we use otherwise, it is similar to using IF. However, the first part of the sentence has been made negative. I must leave --> if I don't leave...
