* The Muppets are mentioned in Michael Crichton's novel on page 13 when Tina is remembering the sloths she saw at the zoo: "It looked like a Muppets character, and it seemed harmless."

* The impending arrival of a heavy-set Clifford in episode 110 of Muppets Tonight is signaled by a shaking, rippling water glass, much like in the film when the Tyrannosaurus-rex is approaching. 
* A 1998 calendar of Muppet Parodies featured Kermit and Piggy in a variation of the film's poster called, "Jurasick Pork."
* In The Adventures of Elmo in Grouchland, the "rippling water" effect is used again (with a puddle) to signal the appearance of the Humongous Chicken.
* The same image was used as for Disneyland's version of the Muppet*Vision 3D attraction, beginning in 2001.
* The arrival of a much heavier Clifford at the end of episode 110 of Muppets Tonight is signified by a vibrating glass of water, as in the first film.
* The Cookie's Crumby Pictures segment from Sesame Street Episode 4526 featured a Jurassic Park parody called "Jurassic Cookie" with Cookie Monster as John Hammond, two Anything Muppets as his grandkids (performed by Stephanie D'Abruzzo and Ryan Dillon), and a giant gingerbread T-Rex.
