History of Nigloland
Nigloland Park was founded on June 13, 1987, by two brothers: Patrice and Philippe Gélis. They decided to make the amusement park following a trip to the United States.
The two brothers were amazed by the parks and leisure activities of the USA. Also seduced by the concept of single-ticket entry, they embark on the adventure of their park.
And it is a playground, nothing like the family property of Dolancourt, which has more than 8 hectares.
The park takes its name from the mascot “Niglo,” which means hedgehog in Romani. When it opened, Nigloland had 7 attractions:
● The Western Train
● The Land Adventure
● The Tacots 1900
● The Niglogolf
● The Ciné show 180°
● The Carousel 1900
● The Haunted Manor
Then, thanks to its spectacular success, the park is divided into 4 thematic areas:
● The Canadian Village
● The rock ‘n’ roll village
● The wonderful village
● The Swiss town (created in 2007)
In 2018, the park’s attendance reached 655,000 visitors. An actual record since its opening.
The park has 39 attractions, including 6 roller coasters and 4 water attractions. It also offers shows for all ages. It also has 8 themed restaurants. Nigloland is ranked 3rd in the French amusement parks visited by most visitors. It is about 40 minutes from Troyes and 2 hours from Paris.
