Openings, closings & moves (oh, my!) The Upper West Side Kidville, formerly located on Columbus Avenue and 83rd Street, has moved to a new location on 88th Street between Broadway and Amsterdam Avenue, and the grand opening is set for this Saturday, September 6. Like the old space, the new Kidville will continue to offer cool little-kid classes, programs, birthday parties and amenities, and yes, there's still a children's salon.

Speaking of haircuts for kids, we were sad to hear that Beehives & Buzzcuts on East 24th Street recently closed but the good news is, the salon is still open! Kid's Cuts Manhattan took over the space and even hired some former Beehives staffers. The change actually inspired us to update our roundup of children's hair salons in Manhattan in case your kid needs a new back-to-school 'do.

Two sad closures to report: C'est Magnifique, one of our favorite places to shop (or at least browse) with kids in the East Village, recently shut its doors. The family-run store had been in business since 1959 (albeit in the West Village during most of those years). We're sorry to see it go—our editor, Raven, had been going there since she was a teen and even bought her wedding ring there.

Meanwhile, the only independent play space in Riverdale, Kidaroo, shut down at the end of August. We had covered it when it originally opened two years ago and are bummed the owners couldn't make a go of it.

Go for a FREE ride Summer may be (unofficially) over but Coney Island's Luna Park stays open on weekends through October and it has a really sweet deal for kids this month. From now through Sunday, September 28, children in grades K through 12 along with college students can earn FREE ride credits for good grades (A=4, B=3 and C=2). Just bring in a 2014 report card and up to five grades can be redeemed. You'll also have a chance to enter to win prizes, including a book bag filled with school supplies, an Android Tablet and a Toshiba Laptop.

Arts & culture everywhere Look, up in the sky! It's a bird, it's a plane, it's art! Those water tanks that look like tumors atop NYC's rooftops are getting an art-lift. A project to raise awareness about water shortages around the world, The Water Tank Project features works by high-school students, emerging artists, and even international superstars like photographer Jean-Paul Goude and Jeff Koons. Their pieces will be on view on select water tanks through October so check the map or just look up.

Got a child with special needs? Take note: The New Victory Theater is offering autism-friendly performances of select shows this season in consultation with Autism Friendly Spaces. These performances will feature quiet areas in the lobby, specially trained staff, an activity corner, fidget toys, reduced sound levels and only partially dimmed houselights. Families can even "meet their seats" ahead of time. Find the complete list of autism-friendly performances on the New Victory's website.
