Better cave for claustrophobic husband?

Hello Slovenian travelers! You were so helpful in planning our trip— and now we are here and enjoying every minute of our first stop, the Bohinj area (Cow Ball!!!). The capital is next, and I’d like to visit one of the nearby caves. They both sound expansive. Would my claustrophobic husband be OK with either, or would one be a better choice? Many thanks!

The Cow's Ball is great, eh?

I think the train ride that takes you into the cave at Postojna may be bothersome to a claustrophobic person, especially the first part... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_MI2BZDEAy8

I don't recall anything at Skocjan Caves that would make one claustrophobic.

I think it really depends on you. I sometimes feel claustrophobic, but had no problems with the train ride or caves at Postojna.

Have you ever been to Disneyland and gone on rides? The train ride feels a bit like that. The caves have quite large chambers and did not feel “tight” at all.
