What age is too old / inappropriate for kids to go trick or treating?

Never

Any kid can go 0-17 in my opinion

This question comes up every year. No one minds the older kids (HS) if they are wearing costumes and enjoying it. It's nice to see kids enjoying their childhood as long as they want.

In HS I did ToT most years. Usually ToT for a bit paired with a casual house party.

Any kid (minor) going at appropriate hours in a real costume is fine.

Never! If older kids want to do something fun, safe and enjoyable... let them! So great for high schoolers to trick or treat instead of drinking at some party

Any age is fine. College? Sure. HS? Sure. Middle? Sure. What, I’m going to refuse an 18 year old candy just so I can bring it to the office where it will be eaten by …. adults?

You come to my house on Halloween, you can have candy, costume or not. Kid or adult. I don’t want leftovers.

It’s a fun, festive evening. I’m not going to get upset over some candy. If you are, turn off your lights and sit in the basement

Children and fun-loving adults of all ages, as long as they're polite and hopefully in some sort of costume.

Agreed - any age if they make an effort with a costume. Let them be kids as long as they can be. Plus it's better than being into other mischief.

through high school as long as they are polite.

Our town literally has an ordinance stating anyone over 12 cannot trick or treat.

Honestly I don't mind the older kids coming by later. I give them all my remaining candy.
