I don't have any experience but this is what Google says.

The minimum temperature for an aloe vera plant is 50ยฐF, but it can tolerate temperatures as low as 40ยฐF in the winter. Temperatures below 60ยฐF can stress the plant, and it's recommended to bring it indoors when temperatures start to drop.
Here are some other tips for caring for aloe vera plants:
Light
Aloe vera plants prefer full sun but can also adapt to some part shade. They need bright light to flower.
Watering
Water aloe vera plants moderately in the spring, summer, and fall, and reduce watering in the winter.
Temperature consistency
Avoid sudden temperature swings, as they can cause the leaves to wilt and the colors to fade.
Location
Aloe vera plants can be grown indoors or outdoors. If you grow them outdoors, protect them from rain and bring them indoors before night temperatures drop below 50ยฐF.
@Catplantaddict i do have experience with aloes! This information is true- but i'd like to add that every aloe is special. @YardGreatburnet is it winter where you live? If so i would not recommend putting it outside until it warms up. For example if your aloe is used to 75ยฐ indoors, putting it outside in 65ยฐ will absolutely stress and shock it. It needs to be acclimated in any case. ๐Ÿคญ
Don't.
If you don't live in a hot state don't put it outside. Mine doesn't get to go outside even in the summer in Oregon here it's too cold at night. Aloe Vera's typically say in their little plant sticks they can tolerate to 45-50 degrees outside. However, that temperature with humidity can make it feel colder. It's up to you.
