Default Is my radiator shot?

So i was driving the other day and i look at my gauges and I noticed it was getting way too hot. so I stop and look under the hood and sure enough liquid was bubbling out of the radiator and everything was leaking underneath. so i let it rest, got some water and put some in and drove the short distance home, which it diddnt get too dangerously hot

I do not know how to replace big things so I don't want to try, so my question is if the radiator is cracked or something, how much would you extimate a shop to replace it? I just wanted to get a general figure so i don't get charged way too much.

thanks guys. car is a 93 civic.

oh and is it safe to drive it for a short distance to the shop if it doesnt get too hot. (having the air on hot and full blast helps right?)
