Honestly it depends on the version you want to run. For instance, in AD&D (v2.0) the age recommendation was 10+, but my father has run it with me since I was 8. In versions 3.0 and 3.5, the age recommendation was 12+ (and for good reason; it is ridiculous how flawed that system was). However, in 4e, the age recommendation (13+) is somewhat arbitrary. I have Dungeon Mastered games with my 7, 8, and 12 year old little brothers, and the 7-year-old continues to be the most successful in the group.

Recently, around the Gold Dragon Horde gaming table, we introduced the game to a 5-year-old. In all fairness, he grew up around the table, having been the official dice roller since age 1. If you want to get really serious about the game, though, it does need to be with someone old enough to have at least some basic decision-making skill.
