The opening sequence was indeed filmed at the LA Arboretum. (301. N. Baldwin Ave, Arcadia). After the first season, they built a replica on the studio lot of the Queen Anne cottage with the tower that Tatoo would ring the bell from. (The plane flying in was stock footage)
The Arboretum can also be seen in many films including; "The African Queen", "The Road to Singapore", "Anaconda", and "The Lost World".
