The palace building consists of two blocks. The first is the ice arena itself with 1,850 seats for spectators. In the second part there are two gyms where training sessions are held, as well as competitions of different levels. According to the reviews of athletes coming to the tournaments, the equipment and service of the Sports palace meets the highest international standards. Some of them call the complex among the best sports facilities in Russia. The square in front of the Ice Palace is also a real decoration of the city. There are fountains, a shell - an open concert stage and a carillon − a large musical instrument, which is a series of bells that perform certain melodies. The Kondopoga version of the instrument consists of a 14-meter arch and 23 bells.
