German company Karls Tourismus GmbH, subsidiary of a family-owned real estate holding and strawberry farming company Karls Landwirtschafts GmbH, will be redeveloping Oxnard's Fisherman's Wharf into the first of their properties outside Germany. I say properties because they use the term "adventure village" and their FAQ on the new project reads, in part
"Karls is a family friendly destination that offers fun and educational experiences to guests within the context of the strawberry and maritime village theme. A typical Karls village is designed around a large central indoor market hall, with restaurants, retail, and live manufacturing shows for freshly made items. There is also an outdoor landscaped area with playgrounds, seating corners, small food stands, and some smaller rides for young children. Karls is not an amusement or theme park and has found its own niche within the retail and entertainment industry.

Karls in [sic] not an amusement park. A typical Karls village is designed and planned around a large central indoor market, with restaurants, retail, and live cooking demonstrations of freshly made food. There will also a beautiful outdoor area with manicured landscaping, walking trails to enjoy the harbor views, free playgrounds, seating areas for picnics or just to relax, small food stands and shops that sell roasted coffee, ice cream, and beer. There are also a few smaller rides for young children. The park decorates for different holidays and hosts art exhibits such as sandcastles and ice sculptures. Visiting Karls is like experiencing a story and creates lasting memories.
...
Karls is special and different from large California theme parks. California has some of the greatest theme parks in the world. But Karls is not a theme park and has found its own niche within the retail and entertainment industry. Karls is a family friendly destination that makes food production an entertaining, educational, and meaningful experience to guests within the context of the village theme."
Nonetheless, a wacky worm is planned for the Oxnard location according to rcdb. They're currently aiming to be open in 2028. U do have to appreciate the boldness of claiming to be different from big California theme parks because ur a berry farm lol
