Opened in 2000, run by a club founded in 1937

Skautahöllin á Akureyri was dedicated on 25 March 2000, during the ÍSÍ Winter Sports Festival, and opened by Iceland's president, Ólafur Ragnar Grímsson; ground was broken on 22 June 1999. It ended a long wait: Akureyri has had a skating club since 1 January 1937, and that club, Skautafélag Akureyrar, runs the hall day to day.

The building holds about 30,000 cubic metres, with 3,232 square metres of floor and a roof 13.05 metres at its highest, and stands planned for 600 people. About 150 people train ice hockey here and a similar number figure skate. The club's men's team plays its home games on this ice, and the women's side, SA Ásynjur, has won the national title 16 times.

Hockey games and curling and figure-skating competitions fill most winter weekends, and school groups from Akureyri and the towns around it have used the hall.
