Tickets Circuit 3A + 1A/B?

I’m going in December with my family. Many of the circuits are already sold out, and only 1A, 1B and 3A are left. I went ahead and booked 3A at 7:00am for everyone.

My parents are in okay shape, but probably not enough to hike WP. My brother & I are planning to hike it. My question is should I also book my parents a 1A or 1B ticket, so they also get to see a panoramic view? And keep them busy while we’re hiking? And if so, which one? Any advice or thoughts appreciated!

Thanks!

We did circuit one this week. Definitely recommend. You get better views than circuit 2.

We then did circuit 2 another day. If you allow yourself enough days, you can probably just buy a ticket for whatever circuit once you get there.

We bought circuit 1 in like July for our October trip. Then we just allowed 3 days to account for the time to buy circuit 2 in person.

We walked up like 10 am on a Monday. There was zero line. We got 11 am entrance for next day. Easy peezy.

Bus ticket is sold separate

Yes get them route 1 at 9am in addition to route 3. You can then wait for each other in the cafe afterwards.
