Do you think that there should be an age limit for trick or treating?

No, as long as they are wearing some sort of costume.

If you have a costume, you get a treat. As and adult, I want to get a group, together, and just go out for awhile. Costume mandatory.

I think the age limit should be below 75

I got turned away at age 12. They all said I was too old to be trick or treating. so 11yrs old is the age limit.

lol Rocket, how long ago was that and what does that have to do with now? There is no "legal" age limit for it. I give to teenagers if they are dressed up. I do not give to adults unless they request for a child in car or unable to get up steps due to disability or if they are dressed up- may be an adult with MR or autism or something so I don't fuss. I rarely have adults asking for candy for themselves.

I occasionally dressed in costume when I took my girls out, but I never carried a bag for treats. Lol

I dressed up one year when I took kids out but I never asked for myself. One year one of my girs were on crutches and when she couldn't get up to a door one of the other kids had her bucket and asked for her but she was in sight

Trick-or-treating—going from house to house in search of candy and other goodies—has been a popular Halloween tradition in the United States and other countries for an estimated 100 years. But the origins of this community-based ritual, which costumed children typically savor while their cavity-conscious parents grudgingly tag along, remain hazy. Possible forerunners to modern-day trick-or-treating have been identified in ancient Celtic festivals, early Roman Catholic holidays, medieval practices and even British politics.

Halloween Safety Tips for Trick or Treating
Kids look forward to Halloween for many reasons. They like the dressing up in costumes but the mostly they like it for the candy and treats! Who wouldn't? Even some adults still like to go our trick or treating. It makes them feel young and happy again. While this section sticks mainly to guidelines for kids, they are just as useful for adults.
Some parents like to take first dibs on some of the candy that the kids have picked up during the night. It's their reward for taking them around from house to house! We suggest that you watch the candy intake when you all get home, too much at one time can lead to stomach aches and indigestion. That includes mom and dad as well!
Make your child's Halloween a memorable holiday and they'll have good memories that last a lifetime! If you are taking your kids out for the night, dress up as well. Mom and dad should get into Halloween as much as the kids do!
Trick or Treating should be one of the great adventures of Halloween for kids! They can get dressed in scary costumes and go door to door, begging "Tricks or Treats!" from neighbors or at the local mall. Lots of small towns have a Halloween Safe Night at the community center or school so kids can Trick-or-Treat safely but going door to door is the stuff of childhood memories! It should be a fun time, without trouble and pain, so following some easy tips can keep your child safe every Halloween. bullet
Children should always go out trick or treating accompanied by a responsible adult. If you have a group of kids going, the parents should choose two or three of them to go along and keep an eye on things. bullet
Some towns set a curfew for trick or treating which makes it easier for townsfolk to know who's coming to their door. Make sure and stick to the curfew times and stick to subdivisions and areas with a lot of homes so your kids can get in as much trick or treating as possible in a few hours time. bullet
Plan a safe route so parents know where their older kids will be at all times. Set a time for their return home. Make sure that your child is old enough and responsible enough to go out by themselves. Make sure that they have a cell phone. bullet
Let your children know not to cut through back alleys and fields if they are out alone. Make sure they know to stay in populated areas and not to go off the beaten track. Let them know to stay in well lighted areas with lots of people around. Explain to them why it can be dangerous for kids not to do this. If they are going out alone, they are old enough to know what can happen to them in a bad situation and how to stop it from happening. bullet
Instruct your children not to eat any treats until they bring them home to be examined by you. This way you can check for any problem candy and get the pick of the best stuff! bullet
Instruct your child to never go into the home of a stranger or get into their car. Explain why this is not a god idea and what to do if someone approaches them and tries to talk to them. bullet
Make sure your child carries a flashlight, glow stick or has reflective tape on their costume to make them more visible to cars. bullet
Let them know that they should stay together as a group if going out to Trick or Treat without an adult.
