If you are in to shopping, you will have a great time at the Walden Galleria!

Here's a link that might help:http://www.ci.buffalo.ny.us/Go to any bank and exchange your Canadian money. They do not accept coins, just the paper.

The Walden Galleria isn't far away. It is the largest mall in the Buffalo area. There are also other stores and restaurants in the area.While some stores in Buffalo accept Canadian money, most stores do not. Use a credit card for easy payment.

Ok to get to the Galleria from the depew Amtrack station:1. Take a right out of the train station parking lot onto Dick Rd. 2. Take a left at the first traffic signal onto Walden Ave3. Keep going down Walden Ave- you'll pass through the Union Rd intersection. 4. About 1/4 mile past Union you will come to one of the Galleria entrances on your RIGHT. There's a bunch of other stores to go to in the area- across from that entrance is a Borders, Kmart, and Burlington clothes store. If you keep going down Walden past the galleria you'll come to a plaza with a Target, PetSmart, and a few other stores that I can't think of right now. Even further past that is the most GHETTO Walmart you will ever go to in your life....don't go there. And I do believe that most of the stores in the area will take Canadian cash no problem. I don't know if you can waste nine hours going up and down Walden Ave, but good luck to you.
