    Pretty sure this is gone or is at least not visible. I asked staff about it in June 2021 and they said it’s not there.

    I stand corrected! I got to the right person at the Aquarium and it’s there, in the restaurant. The restaurant was closed when I was there during COVID’s shelter in place, but It is there and on view if the restaurant is open.
