CEDARBURG — The Cedarburg Plan Commission approved a conditional use permit for a 31,980-square-foot indoor family entertainment center at the south end of the city.
Aaron Gillette of AJ Amusements Inc. is looking to open Cedarburg Entertainment Center within an existing multi-tenant general manufacturing building at W57N14371 Doerr Way.
“I think it’s a great use,” said Commissioner Jack Arnett, who also thanked Gillette for “investing” in Cedarburg.
In a project overview, Gillette said Cedarburg Entertainment Center will have 18hole mini golf, laser tag, an arcade and snack bar that will also sell beer and wine. The plan originally had bumper cars but City Planner Mary Censky said that it will no longer be included.
“We believe there is a strong need for this type of family entertainment center in Ozaukee County,” Gillette said in his memo. “Currently, there are limited options for indoor, year-round recreational activities, especially those that cater to families with children. Cedarburg Entertainment will fill this gap and provide a valuable amenity for residents and visitors alike.”

Hours of operation will be 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. Sunday through Thursday and 11 a.m. to 12 a.m. (adults 18-plus only 10 p.m. to 12 a.m.) Friday and Saturday. Gillette estimated that daily attendance would be 39 visitors per day on weekdays and 88 visitors per day on the weekends.
“Cedarburg Entertainment Center represents a valuable addition to the Cedarburg community, providing a unique and engaging entertainment experience for residents and visitors,” Gillette said. “The project aligns with the town’s commitment to family-friendly recreation and economic development.”
Gillette is proposing no changes to the exterior of the building or site. Access to the site comes off of Doerr Way.
“I think the use is suitable in this location, but a few things need to be improved in order to make it as safe as it really should be over there,” Censky said.
Another condition Censky recommended was there be no outdoor recreation/entertainment uses.
