Fun Land: Nashville was an arcade situated within the One Hundred Oaks Mall at 719 Thompson Lane in Nashville, Tennessee. This location was part of Nashville’s first enclosed shopping mall, which originally opened on October 27, 1967. While specific opening and closing dates for Fun Land are not readily available, the One Hundred Oaks Mall underwent several significant transformations and closures, including a shuttering in 1983 and another interior mall closure in 1991, suggesting Fun Land’s operations would have ceased by or before these periods. The only historical record we’ve found indicates it was open in 1981. Details regarding the specific games and attractions offered by Fun Land are not documented in available historical records. The mall itself served as a prominent retail and community hub for many years, with its upper floors eventually transforming into medical clinics for Vanderbilt University Medical Center in 2008. Fun Land therefore existed as an entertainment option within a significant local commercial center during its operational years.
