Nigloland opened on June 13, 1987, thanks to the initiative of the Gélis brothers Patrice and Philippe, who were inspired by their trip to the United States where they discovered amusement parks with a single entrance ticket[3] The Gélis brothers visited the Walt Disney World Resort in the early 1980s.

[4] The two brothers invested seven million francs to install a park in the family property of eighteen hectares in Dolancourt.

[5] Initially, the park was composed of a small creperie, a restaurant, and seven attractions and installations: "Train western", "Tacots 1900", "Aventure land", "Ciné show 180°", "Niglogolf", "Carrousel 1900", and "Château hanté".

[9][10] The management of Nigloland bought the equipment from Toison d'Or Park at scrap prices from a subsidiary of Lyonnaise des Eaux.

In 1997, the Chenille and the Hérissons dans la forêt magique were two novelties intended for the youngest visitors.

[13] In 1998, 450,000 visitors passed through the park gates[13] and Nigloland inaugurated the Spatiale Experience in the spring, an indoor roller coaster immersed in a huge futuristic building, themed around a space journey, inspired by the Space Mountain attraction.

[5] With the creation of the new rock 'n' roll zone, the park opened National 66 in 1999, Juke box in 2000 and Hollywood Boulevard in 2001.

That same year, the leaders expressed their intention to develop its hotel complex by adding "cottages" on the theme of the Caribbean.

In 2010 the novelties are the flying chair ride Apple Flight, a new show La Parade des caniches and a restaurant in the Swiss village, Lara Clette.

In September 2011 the park served as a shooting location for scenes from the film Comme des frères, renamed "Fifouland" for the occasion on the big screen.

The specificity of Air Meeting is that passengers control the movements of their plane on another axis, which allows for looping.

Nigloland opened the roller coaster circuit Alpina Blitz in 2014 and reached 560,000 visitors by the end of the season.

With a height of 100 meters, this rotating freefall tower from the manufacturer Funtime is announced by park management as the tallest in France.

The park is home to 39 rides, including: In 2005, Nigloland opened an accommodation, Hôtel des Pirates.

Set in an exotic decor, it consists of thirty family rooms that can accommodate up to five adults, a buffet restaurant, a bar, and a performance hall.

During the summer, magic shows and face painting stands for children are added as evening entertainment at the hotel.

In 2023, Le printemps de Niglo celebrates Spring and the Easter holiday with its new show Surprise!.

Niglo Circus, a show featuring seals and poodles, took place where Air Meeting now stands.
