When you drive a Jeep in the game, you can hear a mariachi song called "Las Gaviotas". The song was used as background music in "Jurassic Park" in the scene where Nedry meets Dodgson in the San Jose restaurant.
The game's Allosaurus design was inspired by an Allosaurus figure from the French toy company Papo. It has similar crocodilian black scales on its top, a brown underside, red crests above its eyes, the same black stripes on its tail, and iguana-like spikes on the neck, back and tail/hip. Papo has long been notorious for releasing unlicensed Jurassic Park-inspired dinosaur figures and evading trademarks, but their Allosaurus was an original sculpt not based on any movie. So this game mimicking Papo's Allosaurus is an example of the Jurassic franchise unofficially copying a dinosaur from a toy manufacturer who have been unofficially copying dinosaurs from the Jurassic films.
The Carnivorous Dinosaurs paid DLC, released in April 2019, introduces (among others) Herrerasaurus, one of the few Triassic dinosaurs in the Jurassic Park universe.
This game is considered a spiritual successor or remake of Jurassic Park: Operation Genesis (2003), which features the same premise. Jurassic World Evolution even features similar mechanics, such as gathering Smurfette's DNA by digging for fossils (and dinosaurs with complete DNA codes living longer). Various dinosaurs in Evolution not from the film canon, such as Acrocanthosaurus, Alamosaurus, Argentinosaurus, Carcharodontosaurus, Giganotosaurus, Gorgosaurus, Quetzalcoatlus, Styracosaurus and Torosaurus, previously appeared in Operation Genesis.
Crichtonsaurus, an ankylosaurian available through DLC, is named after Jurassic Park author Michael Crichton.
