What about a farm level? That would give a number of areas to explore: the farmer's house, the barn, the chicken coop, the pig pen, the different paddocks, the tractor etc.
And with the range of animals in the level, imagine all the interesting problems they could have for Yooka and Laylee to solve.
Maybe the farmer captured the Knights of Hamalot and Yooka and Laylee have to help them escape becoming bacon.
The farmer could have also captured Capital B and his Corplet Drones for a bee hive colony that has some sort of energy field in place that only lets the bees fly close to the farmland. However the energy field is about to break so Yooka and Laylee must repair it somehow to stop Capital B escaping (eg. by finding spare parts, or replacing the batteries).
You could have a horse race mini game (although that might bee too similar to the Zelda games?), or a mini game where you have to help heard sheep.
There could be a fussy hen that requests Yooka and Laylee to bring her only the finest quality bunches of hay for her to build her nest out of.
Or a farm cat too lazy to catch the mice that are getting into the grain, so Yooka and Laylee have to catch the mice for it.
Another idea: a big film and TV studio complex with multiple stage warehouses, as then each stage could have a different film/TV genre set up in front of the cameras, plus there's also all the behind-the-scenes places you could explore like the rigging catwalks above the set where all the lighting is hung from, the control room where all the monitors are showing each stage's camera images, the green room or trailers where the stars hang out, the hair and make-up area and the costume storeroom.
Or a museum with all different display areas: the ancient history eras display, the space display, the science display, the animal display, the health and nutrition display etc.
