Costa Rica...
And I was a bit tickled about how the UK's Amazon World stocked its collection with fauna not found anywhere near with the Amazon...!

The name was chosen with zero intention of making it geographically accurate. I believe the name was chosen when it was only a single greenhouse with butterflies. The zoo is very small and private owned, I think the owners might have lived in Costa Rica at some point, and wanted to bring a little bit of the tropics back to Netherland.

Hence the name: Little Costa Rica
 
Love the cactus mural in the background, as if "Little Costa" wasn't geographically accurate enough.
 
@MonkeyBat I actually laughed at this comment as at first glance I thought you were making something of a pun out of Little Costa's name...
though tbf I think there are exhibits at this place more costly than this one...
 
There are (were) only three true enclosures at this mini-zoo. The rest consisted of two greenhouses and a pond.

This is a true mini-zoo and this meerkat enclosure actually used to be a pool.

This was a privately owned greenhouse at first, as an extension of the owner's garden
