The place is nice and cool. You can rent a gazebo for 50,000 IDR/hour, and ATV rides range from 100,000 IDR to 250,000 IDR depending on the distance. It can accommodate two people, and the flying fox ride costs 50,000 IDR. You can bring outside food and drinks. It's recommended to buy food and drinks before going to the gazebo to avoid having to go back and forth and enjoy relaxing in the gazebo while eating and drinking. There's also a canteen available for those not renting a gazebo.
