When the studio decided to close its animal facility. Five of the Universal Studio lions formed the nucleus of Goebel's collection.

The facility was originally called Goebel's Lion Farm and then Goebel's Wild Animal Farm. Soon a wide variety of exotic animals were obtained, trained, and rented to the studios for use in films. The facility later became a theme park. Opened to the public in 1929.

Wild animal shows entertained thousands in the 1940s and 1950s. The "lady lion tamer", was featured in these shows; she also doubled for Mae West. In the lion-taming scenes in the 1933 film I'm No Angel.

The zoo's residents included Leo the Lion, mascot of the Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer. Mister Ed, the talking horse from the television show of the same name. Bimbo the elephant from the Circus Boy.

Television series; and Tamba the chimpanzee, featured in the Jungle Jim. Many TV and movie productions used the park's trained animals, and many productions were filmed there.

The park made headlines in 1966 when a male lion at the compound named Sammy mauled Zoltán Hargitay, the young son of actors Mickey Hargitay. A barn fire in 1940 killed 12 of the animals including tigers, camels and elephants. Jungleland closed in October 1969, because of competition from other Southern California amusement parks, and because the facility "didn't blend in" with the increasingly urban character of Thousand Oaks.
