What did she drag you to Kentucky for if not to see the caves??? (If it makes you feel any better, when I was there my father dragged us all to the General George S. Patton Museum in Fort Knox. Now, I have been to some crappy museums in my time, and I've been forced to visit a lot of boring military history-type stuff, but that place I remember as being particularly boring! Like--self-harm-inducing kinda boring.)
I'm sure you could get over your claustrophobic fears in pursuit of cavernous wonders! There's all kinds of tours at Mammoth Cave, of varying levels of difficulty, all led by experienced spelunkers who know what they're doing. It would be a great place to slowly build yourself up to it. I myself have a history of panic attacks, and am therefore VERY careful about setting limits for myself: I don't want to get into a situation I can't extricate myself from quickly if I feel panic setting in!
