Nigloland is an amusement park located in Dolancourt in the French county Aube. This is one of the most visited parks in France after Disneyland Paris and Parc Astérix.
Nigloland was created by two brothers, Patrice and Philippe Gélis. The park opened June 13, 1987. The name "Nigloland" comes from its mascot, "Niglo", meaning hedgehog in Romani.[2]
The park is divided into four areas: "The Canadian village", "The rock'n'roll village," "The magical village" and "The Swiss village".
