We booked this for a 4 year olds birthday party with a $50 deposit. Decided to go somewhere else. Due to other parents not wanting to take their children here and saying they wouldn't attend. I gave a 6 WEEK, in advance cancellation. They will not refund the deposit which I could possibly be ok with, but will not even let you use it as a gift card for taking your kid there. To me this is just theft of your money. I've never heard of anyplace not letting you use a deposit for something else with that much notice.
