A replica of the Grand Slam and the Tall Boy Superbombs are at the Bomber Command Museum in Nanton, Alberta.
See comments for the accurate replicas on display.
These bombs were designed decades before the daisy cutter bomb used to make Landing zones in Vietnam.

LTC (Join to see) Nanton is where I stopped for gasoline and the attendant told me to roll up my driver’s window to keep the Bugs from infiltrating my car!

I went to Warner a little town just North of Coutts/ US Border and mosquitos attacked me while taking pictures at this park. Nanton was bugless.

Besides this P-80/T-33 shooting star trainer, there was an old tractor HART PARR, Charles City Iowa USA.
Most major cities have at least one of these planes in their parks. I recall as a child playing in a park in South whittier, California with one of these planes on the ground and you could climb it on the playground. I know they made over 6,000 of these so hundreds of them are probably Nationwide in the USA and canada. I have seen at least five of them on stands just in Alberta alone.

Wow! Those things were huge for the day. I sure wouldn't have wanted to have been on the receiving end of those.
