Barys Arena, Indoor sports arena in Astana, Kazakhstan

Barys Arena is a multi-purpose indoor arena in Astana, home to the Barys Astana ice hockey club of the Kontinental Hockey League. For ice hockey it seats 11,578 spectators. It stands on the site of the drained Maly Taldykol lake.

In 2011 a KHL commission found the old Kazakhstan Sports Palace deficient on 37 points of the league's technical regulations, so a new arena was built. Construction started in 2012 on the drained bed of Maly Taldykol lake. The arena opened on 8 August 2015; the next day Barys beat Metallurg Novokuznetsk 4:2, and on 28 October 2015 Barys won its first official match there 4:2 against SKA Saint Petersburg.

The venue serves as the home for Barys Astana ice hockey team and draws fans who experience the fast-paced sport that matters deeply to the city. It represents a connection point where people gather to watch skilled athletes compete at the highest level.

The venue is well organized with dining options throughout the building where visitors can eat or drink while watching events. Arriving early gives you time to explore the facilities and find comfortable seating.

The arena stands on the drained bed of Lake Maly Taldykol, which once occupied this site. During construction on 13 July 2015, six workers of the firm Mabco Construction fell from a height of twenty metres; five died. The rink seats 11,578 for ice hockey.
