Cochrane Toy Box, Cochrane

Cochrane's one and only toy store opened shop in summer of 2008 to the relief of locals and those that live along the Bragg Creek-Banff corridor. People are just happy that they don't have to drive to Calgary to source quality toys. Unlike big box department stores, Cochrane Toy Box carries a lot of old-fashioned wooden toys, locally-made educational toys, and board games for ages 0-99. They also try to veer away from battery-operated toys. Toy Box even sources some of their items from a local toymaker. A lot of the toys are also hands-on, so touching is encouraged.
