We can purchase an api from here https://www.ip2location.com/database/ip2location or any other place, if we give the ip address of visitor as a request then it will response with "timezone" and using the timezone easily we can get the local time of visitor.
In US we have around 25+ timezones..
Here in this Example, I am setting the time zone using this php method date_default_timezone_set() then reading the time of every 25 places. Some of my finding here

     <?php
     $countryCode="US";//this one is for United States of America //2 letter code 
     $timezone = \DateTimeZone::listIdentifiers(\DateTimeZone::PER_COUNTRY, $countryCode);
     print_r($timezone);

     //date_default_timezone_set('Europe/Amsterdam');
     for($i=0;$i<count($timezone);$i++)
     {    
     date_default_timezone_set($timezone[ $i ]);    
     $DateAndTime = date('m-d-Y h:i:s a', time());  
     echo "The current date and time in are $DateAndTime.\n";
     }
     ?>
