Some ideas... Options

[Chrissy K]

I've lived in WNY my whole life, so I've had some time to find things to do even when you're broke... here are some ideas:

Movieland 8 movies (200 Thruway Plaza drive near the Galleria Mall)- Only $1.50 on Wednesdays, normally $3.50 or $5.50 for movie ticket, small drink, and small popcorn
Albright Knox Gusto at the Gallery(On Elmwood, right across the street from campus)- FREE 3-8pm on Friday nights when they host "Gusto at the Gallery" with special events
Niagara Climbing Center (1333 Strad Avenue, North Tonawanda NY)- indoor rock climbing all day for only $10 or $8 6-10pm on Saturday nights
Transit Lanes bowling alley- complete with a sports bar and gaming arcade... only $3.25 a game Monday-Friday and $4.25 on Sat and Sun
Buffalo Zoo- only $7 with a student ID! Be sure to check out the new rainforest exhibit
Mr. Pita (on Transit Rd. across from the Eastern Hills Mall)- daily buffet 11am-2pm only $7.49 (includes different types of pitas, pita pizzas, quesapitas, and a soup and salad bar)
Ice Skating at Fountain Plaza (Main St)- free ice skating and cheap ice skate rentals!

What else should we add to the list??

Something I would recommend if you are new and want to see the downtown is one of the guided walking tours.

I did one when I first got here. We started at the corner of Chippewa and Delaware, I think. And if I remember is lasted around 2 hours. We got to see a lot but my favorite was the Trinity Church. Amazing stained glass windows.

I suggest bringing a lunch, some water, a fully charged camera and comfortable shoes. I think I had just come off work and was meeting my friend and I was wearing something crazy like steel toe work boots or something. Feet were very tired at the end but it was well worth it.

Great suggestion! Here's a website with a few different tours available in the city: http://www.preservationbuffaloniagara.org/buffalo-tours/
