Yahoo's Map and Drive places Mammoth Cave about 4 hours' drive
(about 180 miles) west of Paducah. I haven't been there for years,
but remember it as being a neat trip. However, combined with the
drive there and back, plus a few hours for the tour, it doesn't really
make a practical daytrip from there. Overnight is more feasible,
unless you don't mind spending a very long day mostly on the road.

FWIW, they have a website where you can take a look at what's
available and the different types of tours:
