VIDEO: How to bag yourself a free Alton Towers season pass this half-term
The theme park has launched a new, free initiative - '22 Things to do before you're 1.4 metres' - to help young visitors get the most out of their visit. Any families who complete the challenge during the half-term break next week will be in with a chance of winning a season pass.
The challenge asks young guests to complete a series of 22 tasks, all aimed at those under 1.4 metres tall. They can then collect reward stickers and earn themselves the title of Towers Voyager or Towers Explorer.

Laura Gerrard, Senior Brand Manager for Alton Towers Resort, said: “We are really excited to launch ‘22 Things to do before you’re 1.4 metres’ which aims to help guests enjoy even more fun at Alton Towers. Often visitors don’t realise just how much there is to do and see here.
"The challenges have been set with clear age ranges in mind, to help families enjoy everything there is to do at the theme park, having fun and learning as they go.”
Challenges across the resort include:
* Counting the windows of the Banqueting Hall of the Towers
* Discovering the Chinese Pagoda in the theme park's historic gardens

Guests who complete the activity pack will be crowned a ‘Towers Voyager’ or ‘Towers Explorer’, depending on their height.
Towers Explorer challenges, aimed at younger guests, will see them explore CBeebies Land and have fun in Big Fun Show Time completing the hop scotch, counting the CBeebies Bugs and meeting some their favourite CBeebies characters to gain their Towers Explorer sticker.
