What are common times for trick-or-treating in Minnesota?

While there are no official trick-or-treating times in Minnesota, the city of St. Paul recommends that children go out during daylight hours unless accompanied by a responsible adult. Older kids may go out any time after dusk, although a safe route should always be planned.

As of 2015, the Mall of America in Bloomington, Minnesota, hosts the world's largest trick-or-treating event from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m., offering families a safe alternative should they choose not to go door-to-door on Halloween night.

Many counties in Minnesota have curfews, and while curfew times vary, typically children under the age of 15 must be home by 10 p.m. on weeknights, meaning they cannot be out trick-or-treating past that hour.
